Bioactive compounds and medicinal properties of Aonla (Phyllanthus emblica L.)

The phytochemical characterization of five aonla types was examined using RP-HPLC on methanolic, ethanolic, and ethyl acetate extracts.Aonla extracts were subjected to RP-HPLC analysis at 270 nm, which allowed the identification of five compounds: ascorbic acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid, ethyl gallate, and quercetin.The amounts of identified phytochemicals in each variety showed significant differences.Following varieties Kanchan, NA-7, Banarasi, and Chakaiya in order of phytochemical concentration, the greatest amount was found in the methanolic extract of variety Desi.Methanol, one of the solvents, extracted the most phytochemicals, but ethyl acetate, used to extract the different aonla types, produced the least.The two phenolic components that were present in the highest concentration in aonla variety extracts were gallic acid and ellagic acid.The most prevalent phenolic components in extracts of aonla cultivars were gallic acid and ellagic acid.The highest concentrations of ellagic acid (349.51mg/100 g) and gallic acid (233.49mg/100 g) were discovered in the methanolic extract of the Desi variety.The current study's findings indicated that aonla is an excellent source of phenolic and flavonoid chemicals.
