Abstract
This research investigates the extraction, quantification and characterisation of tannin from the bark of Neltuma juliflora (Sw.) Raf. (N. juliflora, formerly known as Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC.), an invasive species that is widely available but underutilised. Various solvent extraction techniques, including single-phase, combined and sequential extractions, were evaluated. The highest tannin yield (85%) was obtained with 4% NaOH in single-phase extraction, while combined extraction resulted in the highest tannin purity (85.91%). Sequential extraction demonstrated solvent selectivity, with methanol producing the highest extract (93.6%) and acetone yielding a highly purified fraction (83.14%). The presence of essential tannin functional groups was validated by Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The analysis of band gap energy indicated values between 4.00 and 5.09 eV, varying with the extraction method. These findings underscore N. juliflora as a promising sustainable tannin source, which offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional sources and supports invasive species control efforts.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
