LC-MS analysis of dye extracted from Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. flowers

Authors(2) :-Pooja Gupta, Naresh Chandra

In the present study dye was extracted from Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. flowers using solvents like methanol and water. LC-MS analysis was carried out to identify major phytochemicals responsible for colour in Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. flowers. The preparative HPTLC plate of methanolic dye was analysed. The three visible bands were further scraped and reconstituted in methanol for LC-MS analysis to obtain mass to charge ratio. Dye extracted form Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. flowers exhibited several noticeable peaks and numerous small peaks. This showed butrin, isobutrin, butein and lanceoletin are some phytoconstituents which may be responsible for the yellow colour in Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. flowers.
