The crude extract was fractionated with ether and ethyl acetate. Two grams of powdered pericarp was extracted with 30 ml of methanol. Methanolic extract was shaken with 15ml x 2 petroleum ether ( bp 40-60 DC).Then the pet ether layer was removed and 10ml of distilled water was added to aqueous phase and methanol was evaporated under reduced pressure. After evaporating methanol the precipitate was extracted with 1 ether (10 ml x 2) and 2 ethyl acetate (10 ml x 2) to obtain ether soluble phenols 1and ethyl acetate soluble phenols and tannins.
