Because of its abundant prevalence in foods, Quercetin, which belongs to the flavonol subclass of flavonoids, has gotten a lot of attention. Quercetin is also found in Bambusa arundinacea. The plant was obtained and authenticated. Further the isolation procedure was done and was analyzed via TLC, FT-IR, and UV, 1 H NMR, Mass and XRD Analysis. The results obtained from the above parameters showed the resemblance with standard quercetin. Thus it was concluded for the presence of quercetin from Bambusa arundinacea.
