PHARMACOGNOSTICAL STUDIES OF Carissa carandas Linn Leaves Authors: Monika S , THIRUMAL M* AND KUMAR P R
ABSTRACT
Carissa carandas Linn (Apocynaceae) is a thorny evergreen shrub known as Karonda. It has
small berry-shaped fruits added as a flavoring to numerous pickles and spices in northern India.
The study's objective is to analyze the Pharmacognostical standards of the leaves of C. carandas.
Pharmacognostical standards were established using techniques such as macroscopy,
microscopy, physicochemical parameters, extractive values, fluorescence analysis, and
phytochemical screening. The latest findings may be a valuable resource for knowledge and
could offer appropriate standards for identifying this plant material in upcoming research and
application.
