Abstract

The present study deals with the phytochemical screening and FTIR analysis of available parts (mainly leaves and seeds) of two traditional medicinal plants of two different families found in selected region of Madurai District. Test plants were extracted with methanolic solvent for the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, steroids, terpenoids, resins, phenolic compounds, proteins and aminoacids and acidic compounds. We found that the selected plants are good source of various phytochemicals. This study revealed the presence of various biologically active secondary metabolites which could be helpful in the prevention of chronic diseases.
