Abstract

ABSTRACT

Holy mangrove (Acanthus ilicifolius L.) is a medicinal plant rich in bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids. Flavonoids exhibit significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to quantify the total flavonoid content (TFC) in the ethanolic extract of holy mangrove leaves using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The leaves were dried, powdered, and extracted via maceration using 96% ethanol. Qualitative phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids through characteristic color changes using magnesium powder, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide reagents. Quantitative analysis was performed using the aluminum chloride colorimetric method, with absorbance measured at 431 nm. Quercetin was used as the reference standard, and the TFC was expressed as quercetin equivalents (QE). The results revealed a high flavonoid content of 8.388 mg QE/g dry extract, underscoring the plant’s potential as a source of natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.
