Performing quantitative analysis of plant samples for flavonoids involves several steps as following:

1. Sample Preparation:

- Collect fresh plant material and clean it to remove any contaminants.

- Dry the samples using methods like air-drying or freeze-drying.

- Grind the dried samples into a fine powder for extraction.

2. Extraction of Flavonoids:

- Choose an appropriate solvent for extraction (commonly methanol or ethanol).

- Perform extraction using methods like maceration, sonication, or Soxhlet extraction.

- Filter the extract to remove plant debris.

3. Concentration Determination:

- Evaporate the solvent from the filtered extract to concentrate the flavonoids.

- Reconstitute the dried residue in a known volume of a suitable solvent.

4. Quantitative Analysis:

- Utilize a spectrophotometer to measure absorbance at specific wavelengths associated with flavonoids (commonly around 360-380 nm).

- Prepare standard solutions of known flavonoid concentrations for calibration.

- Generate a calibration curve by plotting absorbance against concentration.

- Measure the absorbance of the sample and determine the flavonoid concentration using the calibration curve.

5. HPLC or LC-MS Analysis (Optional):

- For higher precision, consider using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).

- These techniques provide detailed separation and identification of individual flavonoids.

6. Data Analysis:

- Calculate the concentration of flavonoids in the plant sample based on the calibration curve.

- Express results as milligrams or micrograms of flavonoids per gram of dry weight.

7. Quality Control:

- Run quality control checks, including blank samples and replicates, to ensure the accuracy of your results.

8. Reporting:

- Document all procedures, reagents used, and instrument settings.

- Present your results in a clear and organized manner, including statistical analysis if applicable.
