Family Phyllanthaceae belongs to the eudicot order Malpighiales, and its species are herbs, shrubs, trees that mostly distributed in tropical regions. Here, we elucidate molecular evolution of chloroplast genome identify polymorphic loci for phylogenetic inference. We de novo assembled genomes three species, i.e., Phyllanthus emblica, Flueggea virosa, Leptopus cordifolius, compared them with si...

The present study is done to examine and optimize the process of enzyme-assisted extraction of Gallic acid from the dried fruit of Emblica officinalis. The aqueous extraction yielded 12.09% of Gallic acid. A selective extraction process after the treatment with enzymes is proposed by using 30% (v/v) methanol which releases up to 15.68% of the Gallic acid, present in the dried fruit. The optimal...
