At one time Amla was considered a rich source of Vit.C. Earlier studies which identified presence of Ascorbic acid, were done by bioassay of extracts. But if you want to see Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) in PC or TLC chromatograms you will be disappointed.
It was Ghosal and co-workers in 1996, discovered that the Vit.C like action of Amla is due to two gallotannins, Emblicanin A and –B, which have the core sugar acid structure similar to that of ascorbic acid & there is no free or conjugated ascorbic acid in fruits of AMLA.
