Extraction procedureDifferent plant parts as well as
tissue samples (2, 4 ,6 and 8 weeks old) of C. rotundus
were air dried, powdered and used for extraction of
flavonoids. Each of the dried powdered and weighed
sample was soxhlet extracted in 80% methanol for 24 hrs 8
and filtered. The methanol soluble fractions were filtered,
concentrated in vacuo and the aqueous fractions fractioned
by sequential extraction with petroleum ether (40-60°;
fraction I),ethyl ether (fraction II) and ethyl acetate
(fraction III) in succession. Each step was repeated thrice
to ensure complete extraction. Fraction I was rejected due
to its being rich in fatty substances, whereas fraction II was
analysed for free flavonoids and fraction III for bound
flavonoids. Fraction III of each of the samples was
separately hydrolyzed with 7% H2SO4 (10 ml/gm residue)
for 2hr. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate extracted
with ethyl acetate in a separating funnel. Some amount of
water was also added to separate the two layers. The ethyl
acetate layer (upper) was washed with distilled water to
neutrality, dried in vacuo and analyzed for bound

flavonoids.
Flavonoid extraction
Plants collected were washed in running tap
water to remove dust. Aerial part (stems, leaves,
flower) of collected plants were separated, shade
dried powdered weighed and stored separately for
extraction. Each of the dried powdered and weighed
sample was soxhlet extracted in 80% methanol for
24 hrs and filtered. The filtrate obtained from each
sample was subsequently extracted in petroleum
ether, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate following the
method of Subramanian and Nagarajan (1969).
Petroleum ether fraction was discarded due to its
being rich in fatty substances. Ether fraction was
used for free flavonoids whereas ethyl acetate
fraction for bound flavonoids. Ethyl acetate fraction
of each sample was hydrolysed further with 7%
H2So4 for 24 hrs and was then re-extracted with
ethyl acetate. The fraction obtained was repeatedlywashed with distilled water to neutrality, dried and
weighed.
