Characterization and effect of extraction solvents on the yield and total phenolic content from Vernonia amygdalina leaves

In this study, the effects of extraction solvents on the yield and total phenolic content of Vernonia amygdalina leaf were examined. The considered solvents were water, 20% v/v ethanol, 40% v/v ethanol, 60% v/v ethanol, 80% v/v ethanol, and 100% v/v ethanol using Soxhlet extraction technique. Highes...
