Abstract
The physicochemical and phytochemical characterization of Impatiens balsamina leaf was conducted to evaluate its potential for medicinal and therapeutic applications. Physicochemical analysis revealed significant total ash (6.45 g/100 g), with acid-insoluble ash (4.27 g/100 g) indicating the siliceous materials presence, while water-soluble ash (5.36 g/100 g) reflecting a high mineral content. Moisture content was low (5.72 g/100 g), contributing to long-term storage viability. The extractive values, particularly alcohol-soluble (18.95 g/100 g) and water-soluble (26.87 g/100 g), suggest the leaf contains a substantial variety of bioactive compounds. Phytochemical screening showed a rich presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenols, and saponins, with polar solvents like methanol and ethanol demonstrating the highest extractability. The organoleptic analysis described the leaf powder as light green with a smooth texture and a slightly bitter taste, aligning with the presence of secondary metabolites. These findings highlight the potential of I. balsamina leaf in phytochemical extraction and medicinal formulations due to its diverse bioactive components and favorable physicochemical properties.
