Phytochemical evaluation of the leaves of Aegle marmeloes L. (L.) – an important medicinal plant
Keywords:
Aegle marmeloes leaves, FTIR, GCMS, Phytochemical qualitative tests, RutaceaeAbstract
Aegle marmeloes L. (L.), belonging to Rutaceae family, is a widely used medicinal plant. This plant is known to possess hypoglycemic, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, radio protective, anti-oxidative and anticancer activities. The present study is aimed to find out the important phytochemicals present in Aegle marmeloes L. (L.) leaves using FTIR and GC-MS. Most structurally similar compound as per FTIR was L (-)- glyceraldehyde unnatural form. Phytol was detected as a major ingredient in GC-MS analysis.References
