Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Saccharum spontaneum L. known as Kasa (Family: Poaceae) is a traditional herb, it has excellence medicinal value; has been advocated in the treatment gynaecological troubles, respiratory disease.

Various parameters like macroscopy, microscopy, fluorescence analysis as well as extractive value and quantitative phytochemical screening of different extractives were studied. The major components of the extractives like total phenolic, total flavonoids were also estimated respectively. The characteristic of microscopy, physicochemical, fluorescence analysis and quantitative chemical screening were performed in root extractives of the plant material as a mean of authentication.
