ABSTRACT
Background: Medicinal plants have much creative property due to the presence of many complex chemical substances with different chemical composition which are found as secondary plant metabolites in many parts of these plants. So one of the important medicinal plants shows many pharmacologically as well as therapeutically effective for the different purposes for the human beings. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate pharmacognostical, Physico-chemical and Phytochemical screening of the ethanolic extract of Musa Sapientum flower and the presence of different secondary metabolites responsible for the therapeutic values of the drug like presence of alkaloids, glycosides, carbohydrate, tannins – phenolic compounds, proteins, amino acids, gums, mucilage, flavours, flavonoids, saponins, steroids
& sterols etc. Result and Conclusion: The results finding showed the total ash 9.2%, water-soluble ash 6.4%, acid insoluble ash 2.7%, Moisture content of flower showed 11.5%. And extractive value result was found higher in water in comparison with pet ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol. The Fluorescence characteristic of powdered flower produce different colors with different reagents in visible and UV light. Qualitative phytochemical study of Musa sapientum flower was identify the presence of different constituents like carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, tannins, phenolic, flavonoids, steroids, proteins and amino acids, triterpenoids, fixed oils and fats but found to be absence of alkaloids, gum, mucilage and lignins.
Keywords: Musa Sapientum, Traditional use Pharmacognostical, Physicochemical, phytochemical screening, Fluorescence analysis.
