Background: Salvia officinalis (in Arabic, Meramea) is native to the Mediterranean region. It has a rich record of medicinal and culinary applications. It is one of the most popular medicinal and culinary herbs used in the Arab world. The current study aimed to fractionate, screen and quantify the phytochemicals from the hydroalcoholic crude extract of S.officinalis collected from the Asir region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The coarsely powdered leaves were extracted by maceration technique using 95% ethanol and concentrated using a rotary evaporator. The dried ethanol extract fractionated by using hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol. All the fractions were dried and subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening and thin layer chromatographic studies for flavonoids. Flavonoids in methanol fraction were estimated by aluminium chloride method. Results: The result of phytochemical screening study revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, alkaloids, flavonoids in the methanol and ethyl acetate fractions while glycoside was absent in these fractions. TLC analysis showed the presence of rutin and quercetin. The total flavonoid content was estimated as 3.17% by aluminium chloride method. Conclusions: The phytochemical screening revealed that S. officinalis collected from the Asir region of Saudi Arabia possess different classes of chemical compounds which may be associated with various pharmacological properties of this plant. The TLC analysis confirmed the presence of rutin and quercetin in the methanol fraction. Quantitative estimation proved that the leaf contains a promising amount of flavonoids which may be the basis that sage has found rising application in food formulations.
