Phytochemical screening and analysis of different medicinal plants

Abstract Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites produced by all plants in which some have medicinal use. The present study involves seven different medicinal plants ie. Curculigoorchioides, Nelumbonucifera, Psoraleacorylifolia, Punicagranatum, Sitopaladichurna, Symplocosracemosa, Syzygiumcumini. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, phenols in varying concentrations. The main objective of the work was…

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Nelumbonucifera Rhizome extract and investigation of their anti-oxidant and antibacterial activity

Abstract The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been proposed as a cost effective and environmentally benevolent alternative to chemical and physical methods. In the present study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been demonstrated using rhizome extract of Nelumbonucifera reducing aqueous AgNO3 solution. The synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized on the basis of fourier transform…
