STUDY OF PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF FLOWER EXTRACT OF BLUMEA LUSERA.

SANTOSH KUMAR, AMIT KUMAR, V K PRABHAT

Abstract

The present paper deals with photochemical screening of flower extract of Blumea lusera. A Phytochemical screening is the scientific process of analyzing, examining, extracting, experimenting, and thus identifying different classes of phytoconstituents present in various parts of the plant. Plant sample flowers of Blumea lusera were collected and crushed to powder form, and then taken in the soxhlet apparatus for hot extraction with organic solvents. Secondary metabolites viz, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and sterol and terpenoids were screening in different extracts i.e Pet. ether extract, Chloroform extract, Methanol extract, Water extract. In flower of Blumea lusera negative screening recoded secondary metabolities alkaloids, tannina in Pet.ether extract and Chloroform extract. But tannin and flavonoids negative screening in Methanol extract a Water extract. Positive screening recoded secondary metabolities alkakoids and Sterols & terpenods in Methanol extract Water extract and only alkaloids recorded in Methanol extract.
