PHYTOCHEMICAL AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL VARIATIONS IN DIFFERENT TEA VARIETIES AND CLONES GROWN AT NTHRI, SHINKIARI, MANSEHRA PAKISTAN
Danish kamal
Abstract
Tea is belong to family camelliaceae and most popular drinking in worldwide. Present study was carried out phytochemical and physicochemical variation in different tea varieties and clone grown at NTHRI Shinkari, Mansehra. The plant material were collected from NTHRI, Shinkari, Mansehra Pakistan. Phytochemical screening was carried using standard procedure and extract were made in three solvent .i.e. methanol, ethanol and aqueous extract. Phytochemical screening of methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extract were showed the presence tannins, Saponins, phenol, flavonoid, quniones and steroid in various tea varieties and clone. Alkaloid and anthraquniones were found absent in tea variety and clone. Phlobatannins were absent in aqueous extract whereas present in all tae varieties in ethanolic as well as few varieties and clone were present in methanolic. Glycoside were present in methanolic and aqueous extract whereas some varieties of tea Turkish, Roupi, Japanese, Indonesian were absent in ethanolic extract. Physicochemical analysis result that moisture content, ash content and crude fiber content were showed to range from 2.14 to 2.84, 0.09% to 0.37%.and 0.08% to 0.34%respectively.. Present study concluded that tea are great importance in medicine due to presence of phytochemical and good source of energy and nutrient.
