 ABSTRACT

The present study was aimed to analyze phytochemicals present in rhizome of Cyperus corymbosus Rottb. The rhizome of the plant was collected from their natural habitat from the river bank of Cauvery, Mandya and Mysore, India. Dried rhizome powder was subjected to sequential solvent extraction with increasing polarity. Various solvent extracts of rhizome found to contain different phytochemicals to various extents. Acetone and methanol extracts were rich in phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and Tannin. Cardiac glycosides recorded highest in ethyl acetate extract and water extract was rich in saponins and phlobatannins. Anthraquinones was found equally distributed in ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol extracts. Quantitative analysis revealed that methanol extract contains the highest total phenol (0.615 mg GAE/mg extract) and flavonoid content (0.23 mg QCTE/mg extract) was highest in acetone extract, and total Tannins content (0.089 mg TAE/mg extract) was found highest in the methanol extract. Further, isolation of phytochemicals present in different solvent extracts of C. corymbosus rhizome will pay the way for significant application in medicinal and pharmaceutical industries.

Key words: Cyperus corymbosus, Rhizome, Phenol, Flavonoid, Tannin.
