Malpani Commerce B.N. Sarda Science (Autonomous), Abstract:Background: In traditional medicine, Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik, which belongs to the Malvaceae family, has been used treat boils, sores, sprains, inflammations, tuberculosis, leucoderma. Objectives: The objective this study was establish identification quality control standards. Materials Methods: For pharmacognostic evaluation, macroscopy, micromorphology physicochemical constants have used. Microchemical colour reaction tests HPTLC studies were performed for qualitative phytochemistry. Results: Externally root is yellowish-brown yellowish-white a distinct odour, bitter taste, wavy shape, smooth texture. periderm composed 4-5 thin-walled cells. secondary phloem dilated rays broad pyramid-shaped mucilage-packed rays. fibres thin walls are narrow, xylem compact circular cylinder with eight radial lines vessel chains. Prismatic calcium oxalate crystals, lignified long, thick-walled parenchyma cells, cork cylindrical elements discovered in powdered samples. Physicochemically, ash value found above 8% shows more than 75% solubility acid whereas water methanol extractive values be just below respectively. UV-fluorescence study, very distinctive changes recorded. phytochemical analysis reveals presence glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, steroids. GC-MS also characterize lipid phenolic molecules. Conclusion: These findings will help future A. as reference Keywords:Abelmoschus manihot, Physicochemistry, PhytochemistryView:PDF (854.67 KB)
