PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL EXTRACT MIXTURES (HEM) AND ITS PHYTOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION Authors: Uma P , VENKATACHALAM VV AND MANICHANDRIKA P
ABSTRACT
The Present study was designed to prepare and evaluate the herbal extract mixtures and its
phytochemical screening by using the two plants namely Moringa oleifera and Raphanus
sativus. Leaves of Moringa oleifera and roots of Raphanus sativus were collected from
Government Nursery, Moinabad, Hyderabad Then collected leaves and roots were authenticated
from Botanical Survey of India (BSI). Phytochemical investigation was performed for both the
plants, which revealed the presence of steroids, flavonoids, saponins, proteins, reducing sugar,
tannins, and phenolic compounds, Proteins and glycosides. Evaluation tests like physicochemical
parameters and stability testing was also performed at accelerated temperature. The results of
stability of the herbal extract mixtures reveal that no changes were noticed in all the tested
physiochemical parameter as well as turbidity/homogeneity during 24 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr weekly
once and until 30 days.
