An attempt has been made to prepare herbal formulation of marigold along with other medicinal plants such as tulsi, aloe-vera and vanilla essence. The uses of plant extract which is Marigold flower can reduce the uses of chemical in mosquito repellent. The present study is attempted to get the marigold claimed to be used or associated with mosquito repellent activities. Thus a research will be conduct to study on formulation of natural mosquito repellent solution using extraction process for Marigold flower. Lutein has been extracted from Marigold using at various extraction conditions such as different temperature, extraction time and volume of solvent. The summary of this attempt on claiming and efficacy of plant based repellents are suggested for further drug development programme. These plant dry petals may represent an alternative in formulating potent and affordable products in the control of mosquitoes. Keywords: . [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
