Thesis Abstract

Solanum aculeastrum is an important medicinal plant commonly known as soda-apple, soda-apple nightshade, goat apple, poison apple or more ambiguously as “bitter apple”. It is a poisonous nightshade species from Africa and not related to true apples. The term “soda apple” probably derives from “Sodom apple”, modified due to the detergent properties. The present study deals with the analysis of Phytochemical constituents by qualitative and quantitative analysis of Solanum aculeastrum leaves, flowers and seeds were done using methanol, chloroform, hexane, and benzene extract. Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, protein and amino acids were analysed. Phenol and saponin were present in only methanol extracts of leaves and flowers. Phlobatamins, anthroquinone and glocosides were absent in the extract.
