ABSTRACT
This study focuses on evaluating total phenolic contents (TPC) in Taraxacum officinale (L.), a member
of the family Asteraceae (compositae). The TPC were estimated by Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent and gallic
acid was taken as standard. The amount of phenolics was communicated as gallic acid equivalent (GAE).
The TPC varied from 41.47 mg/g to 691.6 mg/g in the Taraxacum officinale (L.) extracts. The maximum
phenolic contents were found in hydro-alcoholic extract (691.6 mg/g GAE) in comparison with aqueous
extract. These extracts have a significant role as antibacterial and antimicrobial agents.
