TPC of extracts and ethyl acetate fractions was determined by Folin-Ciocalteau (F-C) assay using Gallic acid as a standard phenolic compound. The F-C assay for total phenolics contents is a fast and simple method and can be useful in characterizing and standardizing botanical samples. F-C method is based on oxidation of phenolics by a molybdotungstate in F-C reagent to yield a colored product with λmax 745 – 750 nm
