Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
In an attempt to investigate the phyto-constituents present in the root bark and root core of Cassia ferruginea (Schrad D.C) plant due to acclaimed medicinal wide range uses of the plant especially for mental illness, sexual dysfunction and microbial infections, both the root bark and root core of Cassia ferruginea (Schrad D.C) plant were collected, processed and extracted using 95% ethanol. Phytochemical analysis method was used to determine the various constituents present qualitatively. The study revealed the presence of Alkaloids, Tannin, Saponins, Phenols, Flavonoid, and Cardiac glycosides in both root bark and the root core sample, in addition to Protein, Quinone, and Coumarins in the root bark except for steroid which was only present in the root core of Cassia ferruginea (Schrad D.C) plant. The study has shown the nature distribution of phyto-constituents in plant at different parts, no matter how close the parts are. As, such all the parts of plant are necessary to be considered useful as its contained different components.
