This work proposes to compare the extraction of total polyphenols and the coloring obtained after several series of decoction at 100˚C/20min, of whole or crushed leaves of Combretum micranthum. The total phenolic content of the extracts obtained after decoction was determined by Folin’s method. The color parameters were measured using a colorimeter based on the CIELAB system. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows significant differences (p < 0.05) on different parameters evaluated. The...
