ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to analyze the various phytoconstituents present in different extracts of Momordica Charantia and Sponias Mombin. Extracts of Momordica Charantia and Sponias Mombin were prepared in different solvents viz. methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, di-ethyl ether and water. The screening was performed for alkaloids, anthraquinones, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides. The color intensity or the precipitate formation was used as analytical responses to these tests. The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, fixed oils and fats. The phytochemical characteristics of the seed extracts of Momordica Charantia & Spondias Mombin investigated are summarized in above. The results reveal the presence of medicinally active constituents like tannins, alkaloid and saponins in the Momordica Charantia & Spondias Mombin.
Keywords: Momordica Charantia, Sponias Mombin, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides.
