Musa sapientum is one of the well-known plants of the Musaceae family that have been used in traditional medicine since hundred years to alleviate various diseases and health problems. The objective of this research is to conduct the preliminary phytochemical screening, total flavonoid and phenolic contents assays of various solvent extracts of tepal of Musa sapientum. Phytochemical screening was carried out according to the method of Trease and Evans, total flavonoid content was measured by the aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and total phenolic content was estimated spectrophotometrically by FolinCiocalteau method.

Tepal methanolic extract has the richest content of both phenolics and flavonoids i.e. (5.17 mg GAE/g and 0.36 mg QE/g) respectively, and aqueous extract was the least i.e. (2.02 mg GAE/g and 0.214 mg QE/g). All the extracts were not significantly different with one another (p>0.05).

Flavonoids represent the most common and widely distributed group of plant phenolics and are abundant in foods; quercetin and rutin are the flavonoids most abundantly consumed. Musa sapientum is one of the well-known plants of the Musaceae family that have been used in traditional medicine since hundred years to alleviate various diseases and health problems. The objective of this research is to conduct the preliminary phytochemical screening, total flavonoid and phenolic contents assays of various solvent extracts of tepal of Musa sapientum. Phytochemical screening was carried out according to the method of Trease and Evans, total flavonoid content was measured by the aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and total phenolic content was estimated spectrophotometrically by FolinCiocalteau method. Preliminary phytochemical screening reveals the presence of phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids in all the three different extracts (methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous).
