Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Among the medicinal plants Punica granatum commonly known as pomegranate is one of the important ethno medicinal plants used in traditional and folklore therapies. For the preparation of aqueous extract decoction method, methanolic and hexane extract soxhlet distillation methods were used. The methanolic crude extract show higher degree of inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi. Phyto chemical analysis conducted on whole leaf extracts of Punica granatum revealed the presence of various chemical constituents having medicinal values. Through proximate analysis identification of plant material and to ascertain it’s quality and purity. In the present study morphology, macroscopic, microscopic, physico chemical, proximate, phytochemical screening of powdered crude drug were carried out as referential information for identification and characterization of Punica granatum leaf and it’s extracts.
