VARIATION IN PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICALS SCREENING OF CANNABIS SATIVA L. LEAF, STEM AND ROOT
AbstractQualitative phytochemical screening of C. sativa leaf, stem and root was studied. Four solvents viz; n-hexane, chloroform, alcohol and aqueous revealed the variation in phytochemicals presence and absence in all studied parts. Extracts of different solvents were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using a standard protocol. Results showed the maximum number of phytochemicals present in leaf followed by stem and root. They are as follows; steroids, fixed oil, resins, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannin, proteins, and amino acid, phenolics, glycosides, saponins. Variation in a number of phytochemicals also observed in different solvents extracts.
