Extraction And Phytochemical Analysis Of Oil From Neem And Morning Oleifera Seeds And Leaves

ABSTRACT Phytochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants, generally to help them thrive or thwart competitors, predators, or pathogens. These chemicals are produced by plants through primary or secondary metabolism (Breslin A,2017) .  These work was done to determining the presence of phytochemicals such as Tannins, Saponin, Alkaloids, Anthraquinone, Phlobatannins, Flavonoids and  Cardiac Glycosides (e.g Steroidal Ring or Terpenoids and cardenolide) from oil extracted from moringa oleifera and neem seeds and leaves. The extraction was done at varying temperature of 70 oC,60 oC,50 oC,…
