ABSTRACT
The importance for medicinal herbs is increasing day by day due to its high availability and lower side effects. The present study investigated the total phenolic and flavonoid content of various extractions of Indigofera tinctoria linn. The total phenolic content was determined by folin-ciocatechu reagent using Gallic acid as standard and total flavnoid content by aluminium chloride assay using Quercetin as a standard. The present study showed the ratio of phenolic and flavonoid content in different extracts of Indigofera tinctoria linn. Aqueous extract showed the more flavonoid and phenolic content in comparision with other extracts.
