Phytochemical investigation of Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) rind

Abstract

In our study effort was made to find out the constituents present in the rind of Citrullus lanatus. Caffiene isolation and catechin isolation process were followed to bring out the specific constituents. Different procedures like TLC, DPPH test and Phenolic assay were done to confirm that the compounds were isolated. The concentration of the isolated sample was also measured by the graph of standard curve
