Abstract:
In this study, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) was extracted by methanol and
hexane respectively. Methanolic extract was subfractionated by liquid-liquid partition
using dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The structures of all tomato
extracts were analyzed by using thin-layer chromatography (TLC), Fourier-transform
infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy.
