Garlic (Allium sativum) belongs to the Alliacae family, has potent biological activity and has the ability to stimulate an immunological response. The present study aimed to find out the secondary metabolites present in three different forms of garlic powder and to study the HPTLC fingerprinting analysis. The powdered garlic bulbs are subject to qualitative phytochemical analysis using various solvents and quantitative phytochemical analysis was performed on ethanolic extract of three different forms of garlic powder. Based on the results, HPTLC fingerprinting of alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids were carried out for ethanolic extract of fresh garlic powder using CAMAG LINOMAT 5 instrument. The study revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids in the ethanolic extract of fresh garlic powder. The HPTLC fingerprinting profile developed for ethanolic extract paves the way to identify bioactive compounds and by isolating and identifying these compounds, new drugs can be formulated to treat various diseases.
