Pharmacognostic And Phytochemical Studies Of Leaves Of Syzgium Cumini
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of the current research is to develop different Pharmacognostic and phytochemical analysis for the evaluation of leaf of this plant. Microscopy, Phytochemical analysis of leaf drug was performed and results were maintained. Phytochemical tests indicated the occurrence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids and phenols etc. The results obtained from standardization of leaf drug recognized the macro and microscopical parameters, physicochemical parameters. Therefore, these techniques are helpful for rapid recognition of crude drug. The outcome of the research study possibly will be helpful in setting investigative indices for the identification and grounding of a monograph of the plant drug.
