Abstract
The present study is carried out with coriander flowers; A simple and fast method was developed for simultaneous
quantitative determination of three biologically active phenolic compounds such as apigenin, quercetin, keamphferol in
flowers of Coriandrum sativum separation using by flash column chromatography then purification were conducted by
preparative chromatography and HPLC. The phenolic compound determine with different spectroscopic method such as
LC-MS, HC NMR, FTIR and Melting point. The present method is being reported first time and may be used for routine
quality control of the flowers of Coriandrum sativum.

Introduction
Extracts of aromatic herbs, spices, and medicinal plants are activities (Springob and Saito, 2002). Quercetin belongs to

Conclusion
For this article were studied and identified flavonoids and
phenolic acid etc., compare to this leaves, flower are also
having same compounds ,there is no any significant
changes from this plant. Methanolic extract of coriander
flower Out of ten fractions have been isolated instead of
these only three and purified and achieved above 95%
purity. And moreover, HPLC peak purity were compare to
DSC peak purity, its more or less counterpart to HPLC
peak purity .A significant phenolic content in agreement
with good radical Scavenging activity and therapeutically
value for health.
