Figure 1a: Chromatography profile of 5 plant extracts using chloroform, ethanol and water as a
solvent system . Plants were extracted with chloroform and acetone and then chromatographed
as described in procedure., Lieberman-Bouchard (LB) reagents was used to identify saponins
and steroids appearing coloured red,reddish brown violet and blue
