PHARMACOGNOSTICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON LEAVES OF STEVIA REBAUDIANA LINN
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana (Bert) is a plant of compositae family and native to Paraguay, its sweetness and calorie free property increased its demand tremendously. It not only imparts the sweetness but also maintain the normal blood sugar level that’s why leaves are being used in homemade recepies and also in allied industries for diabetics. The leaf of Stevia contain more sweetness and having many other uses due to this importance leaf was analyzed for preliminary phytochemical studies including physical constants such as moisture content, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, sulphated ash, extractive values in different solvent and phytochemical test.
