BIODETERIORATION OF CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS IN DRUG TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS LINN. ROOTS DUE TO SPOILAGE OF FUNGI
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Total 15 fungi were obtained to be associated with the roots of Tribulus terrestris Linn. Roots stored at different relative humidities 30, 50, 75, 96 and 100% RH for 90 days. Quantitative estimation of main chemical constituents such as phenols, proteins, alkaloids, glycosides and sugars in relation to association of fungi were done. The drug stored at above 75% relative humidity showed maximum percentage incidence of fungi as well as deterioration of chemical constituents.
