Comparison of different extraction methods for the extraction of total phenol...Michal Jablonsky
Bark is an attractive renewable raw material, comprised of all types of silviculture vegetation. This renewable resource is a major alternative raw material for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Valorization is a key component of an economic lignocellulosic biorefinery. In this paper are included three extraction techniques and comparisons of total phenolic content. All extractions were done on milled spruce bark (Picea abies). Microwave assisted extraction; accelerated solvent extraction and extraction with deep eutectic solvents were used as a technique for extracts isolation. Choline chloride-based eutectic solvents with car-boxylic acids (maleic or malic acid) and glycerol were used as extractants. The extractions were performed for 1 h at 60 0 C with continuous stirring. Accelerated solvent extraction (extractant 96.6% ethanol; temperature (120, 140, 160 0 C) with steam pre-treatment (10, 20, 30 min.) was used as another type of extraction technique. The total phenolic content was determined spectrophotometrically at 764nm using the Folin-Ci-ocalteu method. This test is based on the oxidation of phenolic groups by phosphomolybdic and phospho-tungstic acids (FC reagent). Extraction technique using deep eutectic solvents brings results of phenolic contents in ranged from 900 to 2000 mg GAE per 100 g of dry bark. Samples with range of phenolic contents between 136.2 and 230.3 mg GAE per 100 g of dry bark were prepared by using acceleratet solvent extraction. Closed-system microwave assisted extraction (time 3 to 20 min.), and temperature (60; 80; 100 0 C) was applied to extract total phenolics from spruce bark, using 96.6% ethanol as an extractant. The total extracted phenolics, as assessed by Folin-Ciocalteu assay, varied between 90.3 and 321 mg gallic acid equivalence (GAE) per 100 g of dry bark for different temperatures. The results indicated that the highest amount of total phenolic compounds were found in extracts when using extraction by deep eutectic solvents

This document compares the efficiency of conventional maceration extraction to a novel rapid solid-liquid dynamic extraction (RSLDE) technique using the Naviglio Extractor for preparing bitter liquors and elixirs. Three herbal mixtures were extracted using both methods and results were compared based on dry residue amount and organoleptic taste tests. Extraction kinetics showed RSLDE reached equilibrium around 12 hours, over 20 times faster than maceration which took around 10 days. RSLDE extracts had slightly lower dry weights but taste tests found them more preferred. RSLDE can forecast maceration kinetics and reduce extraction time needed for optimal bitter liquor preparation.

Isolation of Alkaloid from a Medical Plant (A Case Study of Morinda Lucida)iosrjce
The isolation and detection of alkaloids content of Morinda lucida (Ezeogwu) from Rubiceace family,
a medicinal plant was carried out using solvent extraction process. The dried powdered leaves of the plant were
divided into batches. Different solvents were used on them. After 6 days of occasional shaking, it was filtered.
The filtrates were used for testing the presence of alkaloids in Morida Lucida. Mayer’s reagents Wagner and
Lugol’s reagents and 5m sodium hydroxide were used as detecting reagents. Mayer’s reagent yields cream
precipitate in both acidic and alkaline extracts. Wagner and Lugol’s reagents yield reddish brown precipitate in
both acidic and alkaline extracts. 5ml sodium hydroxide gave white swirling precipitate. Other coloured
precipitate like orange and pale orange was gotten as a result of difference in solvents used for isolation. The
presence of the above precipitate indicates the presence of alkaloids in Morinda Lucida.
This document reviews the use of supercritical carbon dioxide in food processing applications. It discusses how supercritical CO2 can be used to extract compounds like caffeine, vitamins, oils, and flavors from foods. Specific applications covered include decaffeinating coffee, extracting vitamin E from natural sources, removing alcohol from wine and beer, removing fat from foods, and enriching compounds like tocochromanols from palm and corn oils. The document also discusses how supercritical CO2 extraction is being used for food safety applications like analyzing for pesticide residues and environmental pollutants in foods.
Proteins are composed of amino acids linked together through peptide bonds. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, while proteins can be made of long chains of amino acids folded into shapes. Proteins can be classified based on their size and shape as globular or fibrous proteins, or based on their functions such as structural, regulatory, catalytic, transport, genetic, storage and defense proteins. Some peptides act as toxins or have important roles as hormones, antibiotics, or in oxidation reduction systems.
The document discusses the four levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain. The secondary structure involves hydrogen bonding that causes the chain to fold into structures like alpha helices or beta sheets. Tertiary structure describes further folding and interactions that result in the protein's three-dimensional shape. Quaternary structure refers to multiple peptide chains linked together in a protein.
Lipoproteins are spherical complexes formed by lipids and proteins that transport insoluble lipids through the blood. There are four main classes of lipoproteins: chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and high density lipoproteins (HDL). Chylomicrons and VLDL are involved in transporting triglycerides, LDL transports cholesterol, and HDL transports excess cholesterol from tissues back to the liver.

This document summarizes the digestion, absorption, and transport of dietary lipids in the human body. Dietary lipids undergo limited digestion in the mouth and stomach by lipases before entering the intestine, where pancreatic enzymes emulsify and break down triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol esters into absorbable components. These components are absorbed via micelle transport into intestinal cells and repackaged into chylomicrons that enter the bloodstream. Chylomicrons deliver lipids to tissues and lose triglycerides due to lipoprotein lipase activity before remnants are removed from circulation by the liver.

Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted into the blood by endocrine glands and have profound effects on metabolic processes and cellular communication. They can be classified based on their chemical composition, location of receptors, or solubility. The major classes of hormones include steroids such as sex and adrenal hormones, peptides/proteins such as insulin and growth hormone, and amines such as epinephrine. Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and include estrogens, androgens, progesterone, corticosteroids, and aldosterone. Peptide hormones include insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin which are secreted by the pancreas, as well as hormones from the pituitary, parathyroid,

Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts regarding enzymes.
1. The urea cycle is a series of enzymatic reactions that occurs primarily in the liver to convert toxic ammonia produced from amino acid catabolism into urea for excretion.
2. The cycle involves five principal reactions: carbamoyl phosphate synthesis, citrulline synthesis, argininosuccinate synthesis, argininosuccinate cleavage, and arginine cleavage into ornithine and urea.
3. The urea cycle serves two major biological roles - detoxification of ammonia into urea and biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine from ornithine in tissues like liver, kidney, and intestine.
1) Fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation in the mitochondria to break them down into acetyl-CoA units, releasing energy.
2) Beta-oxidation involves a four-step cycle that removes two-carbon acetyl-CoA units from the fatty acid.
3) The complete breakdown of a fatty acid like stearic acid yields 9 acetyl-CoA molecules which enter the citric acid cycle, producing a total of 146 ATP molecules through electron transport chain reactions.
Glycogen metabolism involves the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate through glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis occurs in three steps: 1) glycogen phosphorylase cleaves glucose from glycogen, 2) transferase and alpha-1,6-glucosidase remodel glycogen to allow further degradation, and 3) phosphoglucomutase converts glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate. In liver, glucose-6-phosphatase converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose for blood glucose regulation. In muscle, glucose-6-phosphate enters glycolysis for rapid energy production.
This document discusses glycogen metabolism. It notes that glycogen is a readily available form of glucose storage found primarily in the liver and muscles. Glycogen synthesis, or glycogenesis, occurs in the fed state in these tissues and involves three steps - isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate, activation of glucose-1-phosphate to UDP-glucose, and linkage of UDP-glucose to a glycogen chain catalyzed by glycogen synthase. Glycogen branching is accomplished by the enzyme amylo-(1,4-1,6)-trans-glycosylase which transfers glycogen segments to form branches. The synthesis and breakdown of glycogen in the liver and muscles
Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic pathway by which glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate materials to maintain blood glucose levels during periods without food intake. It takes place primarily in the liver and involves bypasses of three irreversible steps in glycolysis. Precursors like lactate, glycerol, and certain amino acids are converted to pyruvate and then glucose. The pathway requires energy in the form of 6 ATP molecules to synthesize one glucose molecule from two pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis is important for supplying glucose to tissues like the brain and helps maintain normal blood sugar through processes like the Cori cycle.
The citric acid cycle is the principal process for generating reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2, which are necessary for ATP synthesis. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and involves eight steps catalyzed by different enzymes. Acetyl-CoA enters the cycle and is oxidized, producing carbon dioxide and the reduced coenzymes that fuel ATP production. Regulation occurs at three steps to precisely adjust the cycle's rate according to cellular energy needs. Overall, 12 ATP molecules are generated for each acetyl-CoA molecule that completes the citric acid cycle.
This document provides an overview of cholesterol biosynthesis, which occurs in most cells but primarily in the liver and intestine. There are 5 stages: 1) acetyl-CoA is converted to mevalonate, 2) mevalonate is converted to activated isoprene units, 3) six isoprene units condense to form squalene, 4) squalene is cyclized to lanosterol, and 5) lanosterol is converted to cholesterol over 20 steps. HMG-CoA reductase, which converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, is the rate-limiting step and is regulated by feedback from cholesterol and bile acids as well as hormones like insulin, glucagon
This document provides information on carbohydrates and monosaccharides. It defines carbohydrates and explains their four main functions in living organisms. It then classifies carbohydrates into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The document focuses on monosaccharides, describing their structures, classifications, stereochemistry including D and L isomers, anomers, mutarotation, and important naturally occurring monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, and ribose. It also outlines important reactions of monosaccharides such as oxidation, reduction, glycoside formation, and phosphate ester formation.
This document provides an overview of carbohydrate biochemistry. It defines carbohydrates as polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones and classifies them based on molecular size into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are further classified as aldoses or ketoses depending on whether they have an aldehyde or ketone functional group. The document discusses carbohydrate stereochemistry, including D and L isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers. It also covers optical activity and how carbohydrate enantiomers can rotate plane-polarized light. Epimers are described as diastereomers that differ at only one chiral carbon.
This document summarizes the processes of transcription and translation. It explains that during transcription, RNA polymerase makes an mRNA copy of a gene from DNA. The mRNA then moves to the ribosomes in the rough ER for translation. During translation, ribosomes and tRNA molecules work together to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide chain according to the mRNA's codon sequence. The process continues until a stop codon is reached, and the polypeptide chain is released. Mutations can occur during these processes, potentially resulting in non-functional or disease-causing proteins. Examples of different mutation types and their effects are provided.
Nucleic acids are macromolecules made of nucleotides that contain three components: a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. DNA and RNA are the two main types of nucleic acids. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and has a double helix structure, while RNA contains the sugar ribose and is single-stranded. Both are composed of nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds and function to carry genetic information for protein synthesis. Their primary differences are that DNA contains the base thymine while RNA contains uracil, and RNA is found in the cytoplasm while DNA remains in the nucleus.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Abstract
The study is aimed to analyze and compare extraction methods of tannins from three common
Acacia species of Sudan. The Acacia species selected were Acacia nilotica, Acacia seyal and
Acacia senegal. Bark samples from bulk collections of the three Acacia species were extracted
with water, 80% methanol and 70% acetone. Two sets of extraction were made, one by boiling
and a second by shaking the samples in the respective solvents for eight hours at room
temperature. Although the amount of material extracted by these two procedures did not differ
greatly (P > 0.05), 70% acetone was a more efficient solvent than either water or 80% methanol.
The tannins of mature fruits extract of Acacia nilotica were identified by using Thin Layer
Chromatography (TLC), Ultraviolet and Infrared spectroscopy. Comparisons of absorption spectra
and TLC of the reference tannins and some phenolics with that of Acacia nilotica extracts
revealed the presence of both condensed and hydrolyzable tannins, since it consists of catechin,
tannic and gallic acids. Catechin considered to be the phenolic precursor of condensed tannins.
Hydrolysis of Acacia nilotica extract, tannic and gallic acids by butanolic-hydrochloric acid
yielded gallic acid which is considered to be a chemical precursor of hydrolyzable tannins.

Introduction
Tannins are polymeric phenolic compounds with
numerous hydroxyl groups and quite diverse in
chemical structure [1-2]. Hydrolysis of some of
tannins yields the simple, seven-carbon gallic acid,
others give ellagic acid or other phenolic acids [3-
4]. Tannins are generally divided into the
hydrolyzable and condensed tannins. Acacia
species are found in different climate areas, there
are even a few aquatic legumes [5]. In Sudan,
Acacia species are widespread and are of
medicinally and economically valuable [6]. Acacia
nilotica fruits have been used as one of the
traditional medicine and as an antimicrobial agent
in many countries around the world. Various parts
of the plants are selected especially roots, young
shoots and stem. The extract of Acacia nilotica
leaves is play an important role in antibacterial
processes [7].
Tannins complexes with sorghum proteins,
this complex is hard to digest by human and hence
lower the protein value [8]. The tannin- protein
precipitation behaviors confirmed complexity and
differences in their nature and potentiality for
tanning or other uses [9]. Polyphenols and related
structures are responsible for the antioxidant
processes in the human body system [10]. Tannic
acid with low levels affords protection against
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced foresto-
mach and lung [11]. Tannins of Agrimonia
japonica has been used as antidiarrheic and a
hemostatic in Japan and China [12].
Literature shows that tannins were
extracted by different procedures and techniques.

[13]. Tannins also extracted from the bark of Pinus
oocarpa with sodium carbonate and sodium
bisulfite [14]. Tannins of Galium tunetanum were
extracted by two methods by ethanol 30% for 2
hours and the other by acetone for 24 hours [15].
The vegetable tannins may be classified
into two categories based on the nature of
combination to achieve the molecular size and
reactivity required. The first class is condensed
tannins which are not hydrolyzed in the presence
of acid, bases or appropriate enzymes, and the
second class of tannins is hydrolyzable tannins
which are hydrolyzed in the presence of acids,
bases or appropriate enzymes to give either gallic
acid or ellagic acid [3, 16-17]. Condensed tannins
contain only phenolic nuclei, most tannins of this
type are formed by the condensation of two or
more of flavanols, such as catechin(I) and
epicatechin(II) and leucocyanidin(III), or can be
mixture of these [17-19].
Hydrolyzable tannins yield on hydrolysis
by acids, bases or appropriate enzymes glucose
core (IV) together with gallic acid (V) or its
congeners such as hexahydroxydiphenic acid (VI).
Also ellagic acid (VII) which is obtained by aerial
oxidation of gallic acid [1, 16, 20]. Tannic acids
belong to the hydrolyzable group of tannins
[21- 22].
In this work, we compare the efficiency of
various solvents for extraction of tannins from bark
of the three common Acacia species of Sudan. The
effect of temperature and shaking on the extraction
efficiency is also compared. Thin Layer
Chromatography, Infrared and Ultraviolet
spectrometry were used for identification of
compounds which are found in mature fruits
extract of Acacia nilotica and compared with the
reference of tannins and related phenolics.

Material and Methods
Sampling
Samples of bark of Acacia nilotica, Acacia
seyal and Acacia senegal from individual
collections were used for the study extraction
efficiency. Mature fruits of Acacia nilotica were
collected and used to identify the tannins. Bark
was removed from wood before drying. Plant
Materials were taken from several trees in each
instance from the Sunt Industrial and Tourism
Centre (Sunt Forest) at Khartoum and Debabat
Forest at South Kordofan State at West of Sudan .
Three individuals for each samples were used for
the analysis (n = 3).
Chemicals and reagents
The chemical materials used for the
analysis in this work were of high grade.

Extraction of bark samples
Air-dried bark samples (from bulk
collections) were ground in a Wiley mill (2 mm
screen). A portion (40 g) was extracted with water,
another with 80% methanol, and a third with 70%
acetone (200 ml) by shaking at room temperature
for 8 hours and another series by boiling for 10
minutes. The samples were filtered (Whatman 1
paper, 18.5 cm disc) and the residual material
rinsed with additional solvent (two portions each
of 50 ml). Extracts were transferred to a tared,
round-bottomed flask and concentrated under
vacuum by rotary evaporator to form a thick
extract. The sample extracts were then dried in a
vacuum oven at 60 0
C until a solid material was
obtained. The amount of extract was determined by
weight difference Table 1.
Characterization of Acacia nilotica tannins
Samples of mature fruits from individual
collections of Acacia nilotica were used to
determine the tannins. Material was taken from
several trees in each instance. Air-dried sample
was ground in a Wiley mill (2 mm screen). In
order to determine the composition of tannins of
the sample, it was characterized by TLC, UV, and
IR spectrophotometer and was compared with the
references (standards) of tannins and related
phenolics.
Identification of tannins by TLC
Dried and powdered fruits of Acacia
nilotica (100 g) were shaken with water (500 ml)
for 24 hours at 25 0
C by using the mechanical
stirrer, the solution filtered through glass wool. 100
ml of extract were put into a 250 ml beaker, and
the pH adjusted to 6.2 by addition of ortho-
potassium dihydrogen phosphate (10 ml) and
sodium hydroxide solution (2N, approximately 5
ml) by using pH-meter before extraction with 50
ml of ethyl acetate for 10 times. Heat at 30 0
C for
elimination of solvent, then a bright brown
amorphous powder will be obtained.
Thin-layer plates (size 20 cm length and
20 cm width) and another (20 cm length 5 cm
width) were prepared with cellulose. 6% aqueous
acetic acid being used as developing solvent. The
extract was dissolved in acetone (100 ml) and
separated by TLC on cellulose, it gives three
fractions when run with two dimensional TLC
(Fig. 1). Comparison of standards (Tables 2) and
the three isolated fractions gave the patterns shown
in Tables 3.
Degradation of tannins with alcoholic-
hydrochloric acid
In order to determine the composition of
tannins of Acacia nilotica whether it is
hydrolyzable or not, the sample of mature fruits
was hydrolyzed by alcoholic hydrochloric acid
according to the following procedure: 0.5 ml of
extract was heated for 2 hours at 95 0
C with 5 ml
5% butanol-HCl [23], the product of acid
hydrolysis were characterized by TLC (Table 3).
Detection Reagents
After the development of the chromato-
gram, tannins and related phenolics were detected
by iodine vapours. Tannins and related phenolics
appear as brown spot after exposure to iodine
fumes in a closed tank.
Chemical tests of tannins extract
Test with ferric chloride solution
To a 1 ml portion of the extract was taken
in a test tube and 5 drops of FeCl3 solution in
methanol were added. A green to black precipitate
appears in the presence of tannins (Table 4).
Test with gelatin solution
1 ml portion of the extract was taken in a
test tube and added 1ml of gelatin (1%solution)
and NaCl. The formation of a white precipitate will
show that tannins were exist [24] (Table 4).
Test with ferrous sulphate solution
1 ml portion of the extract was taken in a
test tube and 2 ml of 0.1% FeSO4 and 0.5% sodium
potassium tartrate were added. The appearance of
violet colour indicates the presence of tannins.
Chemical tests of tannins were applied for
the isolated fractions of Acacia nilotica mature

fruits extract obtained from TLC for identification
of tannins (Table 4).
UV spectrophotometry of tannins and related
phenolics
100 mg of the water extract, (dried) of
mature fruits of Acacia nilotica were dissolved in
25 ml of methanol. Standards of tannins and
related phenolics were prepared by dissolving 10
mg in 25 ml of methanol. After that the solutions
were diluted with the same solvent (1:100), and the
spectrophotometric measurements were recorded
as seen in (Table 5). On the other hand, the acid
hydrolyzed tannins was also determined
spectrophotometrically as in (Table 6).
IR spectrophotometry of tannins and related
phenolics
About 1.0 g of the dried water extract of
mature fruits of Acacia nilotica was dissolved in 5
ml of methanol. Standards of tannins and related
phenolics were dissolved by the same manner. The
sample and standards were subjected to IR
measurements, (Table 7). On the hand, the sample
was dissolved in acetone by the same manner as
previously described, (1.0 g in 5 ml), and subjected
to IR measurements and reveal the same IR spectra
as in Table 7.
Statistical analysis
Each treatment was carried in replicates
and each sample was analyzed three time The
results are expressed as mean (n = 3), by using
one-tail analysis of variance. Testing hypothesis
for the comparison of the two procedures were
carried out by using the following relations:
where S1 and S2 ar standard deviations, N1 and N2
are replicates (= 3 for each), and Spooled is pooled
standard deviations.
and for the comparison of the two procedures:
where 1x and 2x are the means, and t for t-value
((at 95% confidence level, t-test table, P < 0.05).
The null hypothesis is accepted if the calculated
value (left side) is less than the tabulated value
(right side) [25-26].
Results and Discussions
Numerous studies have examined the
solubility of tannins in solvents, but no solvent
system has been found to be completely
satisfactory. Solubility of tannins depend on many
factors including the structure of the tannins
themselves. Aqueous acetone solutions are
generally most effective in removing both
condensed and hydrolyzable tannins. Pure solvents
were insufficient extraction media for the recovery
of phenolics and particularly tannins.
In this study, two sets of extractions were
made, one by boiling and the other by shaking the
samples in the respective solvents for 8 hours at
room temperature (Table 1). The solvents used for
extraction were distilled water, 80% methanol and
70% acetone. Although the amount of material
extracted by these two procedures did not differ
greatly (P > 0.05), 70% acetone was a more
efficient solvent than either water or 80% methanol
(Table 1) in terms of the weight of material
extracted from a given weight of Acacia species
material and in the percentage of tannins in the
phenolic materials extracted, and the percentage of
tannins exracted from the bark samples.
Also in this work, the tannins of mature
fruits extract of Acacia nilotica were identified by
TLC, UV and IR spectrometry. Comparison of the
absorption spectra and TLC chromatograms of the
reference tannins and some related phenolics with
that of Acacia nilotica extract revealed the
presence of both condensed and hydrolyzable
tannins.
The results presented in our work, show
that when the extract was run with two
dimensional TLC, it give three fractions, (Fig. 1).
Comparison of standards with the extract gave the
pattern shown in Table 2 by TLC. The three

The UV absorption spectra of the extract
and standards when using methanol as solvent,
they have shown peak maxima at 280 nm,
(Table 5), indicating the presence of catechin and
tannic acid. When the extract and the standards
were subjected to hydrolysis by alcoholic-HCl
acid, they showed maximum peaks at 272 nm,
(Table 6) indicating the presence of gallic and
tannic acids. Catechin (Flavan-3-ols) is considered
to be a monomer of condensed tannins. Hydrolysis
of Acacia nilotica extract, tannic and gallic acids
by butanolic-HCl acid yield gallic acid which is
considered to be a chemical precursor of
hydrolyzable tannins.

Conclusions
This study has shown that the extraction
of three Acacia species using distilled water, 80%
methanol and 70% acetone has been
successfully made. The extraction was made
once by boiling and the other by shaking the
samples in the respective solvent for 8 hours at
room temperature. Results showed that the 70%
acetone was the most efficient solvent among the
three solvent used. In addition, characterization
study of Acacia nilotica extract revealed the
presence of some compounds of both condensed
and hydrolyzable tannins.
Recommendations that could be drawn from
this study are that further studies will be necessary
to identify the tannins in the other Acacia species
because of the importance and usefulness
of the tannins group and its applications in wide
range.
