Figure 1a

The document describes a chromatography profile of 5 different plant extracts developed using a chloroform:ethanol and water solvent system. Clear zones in the profile indicated antioxidant activity of compounds extracted with acetone and methanol from the plants. The profile also showed saponins and steroids identified with Lieberman-Bouchard reagents, which appeared as red, reddish brown, violet and blue colors on the chromatogram.
