ABSTRACT
Solasodine a glyco-alkaloid and nitrogen containing steroidal drug (aglycone), obtained from distinctive species of the genus Solanum (Solanaceae). The Completely Randomized Design (CRD), method used for statistical analysis. The spectrometric method was used to evaluate the phytoconstituents of crude extract of dried fruits. The phytochemical content recorded highest in grafted plants as compared to non grafted eggplant genotypes. The results of grafted plants and non grafted eggplant varieties were recorded for solasodine content, total phenols and poly phenol oxidase (PPO) content had significant to each other. The solasodine content observed highest (1.66 mg/100gm) in grafted plants of Solanum xanthocarpum × Pusa Shyamala, followed by Solanum xanthocarpum × pusa hybrid-6 and the lowest 0.92 mg/100gm in non grafted eggplant genotypes. The both polyphenols and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) content were recovered maximum in grafted plants and among grafted plants Solanum xanthocarpum produced 59.69mg/100gm and 3.9OD min-1.mg-1. Based on mean performance Solanum xanthocarpum and Solanum khasianum found superior for phytochemical content and can be used as alternative for modern medicine.
Key words: Phytochemicals, Glycoalkaloid, Grafting, Solanum sps., Crude extract.
