Identifying studied sample acacia species selected and
collected from Bekele Molla Hotel Avenue, Chamo Kebele, Arba
Minch under convenient random sampling method. Tannins extracted
using the solvents such as water (at 60 & 900C), methanol (at 900C)
and its 1:1 mixture (at 900C) by employing Soxhlet extraction.
Extracted crude tannins was separated and purified under vacuum
distillation. The photochemical screening and quantitative
determinations of sample carried out. Furthermore, the sample of
tannins characterized by employing U-visible and FTIR spectroscopic
studies. Methonalic extract consist moisture content and % yield about
17.86±0.51 % and 52.55 %. The results of Uv-visible and FTIR
spectroscopic studies were supporting that the sample of Acacia
xanthophloea has tannins and flavonoids. Thus, this study reveals and
confirmed that the methanol is more suitable solvent for extraction of
tannins over than water
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
