Estimation of Phenol Contents in Withania somnifera and Asparagus racemosus Plants of Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Two medicinal plants, viz., Withania somnifera and Asparagus racemosus have been shown to have antioxidant and aphrodisiac effects in common and their effects have been shown to be attributed to their phytochemical constituent, namely, phenols. However, the plants, used for the study of identification and estimation of phenol contents so far have been resourced from places other than Thanjavur district and very few works have been carried out on these aspects from Southern part of India. Hence, the present study has been undertaken to estimate the total phenolic contents of the selected medicinal plants by using Spectrophotometer. The results showed the presence of phenolic contents in all the three plants tested. The level of total phenolic contents was increased in Asparagus racemosus as compared to Withania somnifera .
