Abstract

Atriplex halimus L. (Chenopodiaceae) is particularly well adapted to arid and salt-affected areas[1]. This plant is a perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean basin with excellent tolerance to drought and salinity [2]. The main aim of this study was to identify a medicinal plant used in the Ouargla for the treatment of several human pathologies. Phytochemical investigation is applied to the majority of extracts of the aerial parts of Atriplex halimus L. Different chromatographic methods are used. This study followed by an evaluation by the phenol assay the Folin- Ciocalteu method, using gallic acid and quercetin as a references for phenols. Some polar extracts showed an interesting result.
