(C) Spectrophotometric determination of photometer.
phenolic content in tea extracts (D) Thin layer chromatography
- Prepare the standard curve using 10 µl of known - A fixed amount of (5 µl) of each tea extract was taken
amounts (0-50 µg) of Gallic acid. and spotted in a TLC sheet and air dried in room
- Added 10 µl each of unknown tea sample extract to temperature
an appropriately labelled test tube (in triplicates). - TLC plate was kept in a beaker containing ca. 100 ml
- Added 1.25 ml of Folin&Ciocalteu’s reagent and 1 solvent [ petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (7:3)]
ml sodium carbonate to each tube and mixed well. - Setup kept aside for separation for 30 minutes
- Incubated at room temperature for at 1 hour and - TLC sheet was taken out and the bands were
absorbance measured at 765 nm in a UV-VIS Spectro- visualized

(A) Antimicrobial activity of methanol extract
of different tea samples
(C) Estimation of total phenolic content in tea extract
CONCLUSION: Fresh tea leaves extract exhibited greater antimicrobial activity, CONCLUSION: Fresh tea leaves have the highest accumulation of
