Abstract
Emerging advancement in the discovery of novel phytochemical compounds from natural sources is a significant milestone in modern healthcare, aiding in the prevention and management of diseases for a healthy well being. One of the biggest issue currently experienced is the climatic change and its impact on human illnesses can be overcome by the sustainability of potential phytochemicals. The current study compares the best extraction efficiency from greener extraction compared to conventional extraction. Methanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of Simarouba glauca were prepared by greener extraction as well as conventional extraction method using 23 full factorial designs in order to optimize the maximum extraction efficiency in both the methods. The study found that the Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction had the highest extraction responses for both methanol (16%w/w) and aqueous (23%w/w) phases. The Soxhlet method produced good extraction responses for both methanol (13%w/w) and water (22%w/w). LC-MS/MS analysis identified the potential phytochemicals such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds (Hesperetin, Kaempferol, Fisetin and Dicaffeoyl quinolactone) in SG aqueous leaf extract. Similarly potential phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloid, terpenoids, steroids and carotenoids were identified from SG methanol leaf extract. In futuristic study, the biological response of the identified potential phytochemicals from Simarouba glauca needs to be assessed for health benefits.
