Abstract

Objective: The present work attempts to carry out preliminary phytochemical screening and physicochemical evaluation of leaf of Jasminum sambac.


Methods: Jasminum sambac leaves were used to study for preliminary phytochemical screening of powder drug. Physicochemical parameters were also performed as per WHO guide lines.


Results: The preliminary phytochemical screening showed presence of carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, phenolic compounds and triterpenoids in the ethanolic extract.


Conclusion: These studies provided referential information for correct identification and standardization of this plant material and detection of adulterants of this plant material.

Keywords: Jasminum sambac, Phytochemical screening, Physicochemical evaluation
