A BRIEF STUDY ON THE PLANT TULSI (OCIMUM SANCTUM)

ABSTRACT

Phytochemical analyses A preliminary phytochemical enquiry discovered the existence of alkaloids molecules (as indicated by the look of such a red colouring), flavonoids (as indicated by the look of a light pink and just a blackish crystallise), and a nonattendance of flavonoids (as indicated by the dearth of such a measured pink color change) in each of the referenced that though plant’s extracts.. The aqueous extract produced a favorable result in Salkowski’s test (which looked for the production of a dark - brown color). In the cases of protein, tannin, oil, and steroids, it returned a bad impact. It is possible that the combination of these different phytochemicals is what accounts for the antimicrobial activities that was discovered in the plant extract of leaves. There is additional evidence that flavonoid may have a more significant positive health impact on humans. Ocimum septum is a perennial herb that has a long history of usage in traditional medicine as a therapy for a variety of conditions, including inflammation, tissue repair, toothache, antiseptics, carminatives, cough, albuterol, stomatitis, and several fungal infections. It’s been determined that the presence of certain active elements with in extracts is responsible for the antibacterial action. It was discovered to have an aromatic odor, a taste that was somewhat pungent, and a silky texture. N. sativa sanctum was responsible for these findings. An analysis of the flavonoid potential of an extract from the leaves of O. sanctum, which uncovered both the existence and lack of alkaloids, polyphenols, and tannin components (Tables 1,2), demonstrated the organoleptic properties of ocimum temple.
