Abstract

Flavonoid contents were investigated in alcoholic extract of fresh leaves in some species belong to family of Fabaceae grown in Iraq which collected randomly from various fields in Hillah city. Flavonoids compounds were isolated by using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) in n-Butanol: Acetic acid: Water (BAW) and Ethyl acetate: Methanol: Water (EMW) solvents systems. These compounds were classified according to their Retention factor (Rf) value, color under Ultraviolet (UV) and some references.
TLC profiling of leaves extract give an idea about the presence of various phytochemicals. Different Rf value of various phytochemicals provide valuable clue regarding their polarity and selection of solvents for separation of phytochemicals.
