Estimation of Total Phenol, Flavonoid and Tannin Contents in Galls of Ficus benghalensis Leaf

The total phenolic, total flavonoid and total tannin contents in leaf galls of Ficus benghalensis were studied with the aim of drawing the standards.; here non structural total phenolic content (TP) determined by Folin- Ciocalteu reagent and flavonoid content (TF) was determined by aluminum chloride colorimetric method. The TP found to be, 157.25+0.015mg (gallic acid equivalent/g) and TF 151.95+0.085mg (quercetin equivalent/g). In addition, total tannin content (TT) determined by back titration with potassium permanganate and, was found as 106.41+0.000mg (tannin equivalent/g). In study TP, TF and TT are significant and prove that, galls are rich in estimated phytoconstituents and may have pharmacological importance.
