  Author(s): Siddharth Joshi* and Rutu J Kothari
  
  This study explores the extraction, purification and quantification of quercetin from various natural sources, including fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants. Utilizing solvent extraction, followed by chromatographic techniques, we achieved high purity and yield of quercetin, assessed through UV-Vis spectroscopy. Our findings indicate that sources like onions and apples yield significant amounts of quercetin, highlighting their potential as natural supplements. Economic analysis reveals that quercetin's growing market demand, driven by its antioxidant properties and health benefits, presents lucrative opportunities for agricultural producers and the nutraceutical industry. By identifying optimal extraction methods and sources, this research underscores the importance of quercetin in both health promotion and economic development. These insights could inform future studies and c.. Read More»
