Three banana species namely Musa ab thaen kunnan, Musa abb monthan and Musa aab mysore collected from Kanjamalai, Salem District, were analyzed for biochemical constituents. The results suggest that among the three banana varieties the level of storage polysaccharides cholesterol and ascorbic acid seem to be higher in Musa ab thaen kunnan . The amount of Protein in Musa aab mysore showed higher concentration than the rest of the banana species. Calcium content was higher in Musa abb monthan . The Musa ab thaen kunnan showed higher level of phosphorus and iron as compared to other spices. The Musa ab thaen kunnan was also found to contain iron and other biochemical constituents. The results emphasis that the banana species selected from Kanjamalai area were very good source of minerals especially iron Musa ab thaen kunnan and may be recommended as a natural iron supplement food.

PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE STEM OF Toddalia asiatica.L. var. floribunda

Mintage journal of pharmaceutical and medical sciences (2013)

Praveena Alagaraj M Suriyavathana

The traditional medicine involves the use of different plant extracts or the bioactive constituents. This type of study provides the health application at affordable cost. India is a home to a variety of traditional medicine systems that relay to a very large extent on native plant species for their raw drug materials. Plants acts as a raw material base for the elaboration of more complex semi-synthetic chemical compounds. Therefore, now there is a need to look back towards the traditional medicine which can serve as novel therapeutics and in searching new economic plants for medicine. Toddalia asiatica has been in folklore use in India and China from 18th century. Since, this plant possess many medicinal properties, the present study was designed to evaluate the phytochemicals in the stem of Toddalia asiatica.L. The stem was collected and extracted with benzene, chloroform, acetone, methanol and water. Phytochemical screening was carried out according to standard procedures. Sugar, protein, Alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, coumarins and glycoside were found to be present in the extracts. The results of the above study conclusively validate the phytochemical treasures indulged in Toddalia asiatica.L.

Phytochemical Characterization of Triticum Aestivum (Wheat Grass)

Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry (2016)

M Suriyavathana I Roopavathi Vinu vijayan

Many drugs commonly used today are of herbal origin. Some are made from plant extracts; others are synthesized to mimic a natural plant compound. Wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most widely used health foods, but its functional groups and mechanisms remain unidentified. Wheat germinated over a period of 6-10 days is generally called wheatgrass. During germination, vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds including flavonoids are synthesized in wheat sprouts. The present study was designed to evaluate relative contribution of different phytochemicals in various extracts of wheat grass; the leaves of the selected medicinal plant were washed, air dried and then powdered. The various extract of leaves sample was used for the phytochemical analysis to find out the phytochemical constituents in the plant. Phytochemical analysis results of this medicinal plant showed the presence of terpenoids, flavonoids and alkaloids were found. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of this plant confirms the presence of various phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, and glycosides in their methanolic leaves extract. The present study dealt with highlighting of the phytochemicals with respect to the role of this plant in traditional medicinal system. The phytochemical analysis of the plants is very important commercially and has great interest in pharmaceutical companies for the production of the new drugs for curing of various diseases. It is expected that the important phytochemical properties recognized by our study in this indigenous medicinal plant will be very useful in the pharmacological field.
