PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND HPTLC FOR AZADIRACHTA INDICA AND RHIZOME EXTRACT OF CURCUMA LONGA

Abstract

Phytochemical analysis and HPTLC were employed to investigate the bioactive compounds present in the extracts of Azadirachta indica (neem) and Curcuma longa (turmeric). During phytochemical analysis, the extracts were shown to include a range of bioactive substances, such as tannins, proteins, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins. The HPTLC analysis of the extracts showed distinct chromatographic profiles, indicating the presence of different phytochemicals. The study highlights the importance of phytochemical analysis and HPTLC in understanding the bioactive compounds present in medicinal plants and their potential applications in disease prevention and treatment.
