Screening of phyto-constituents of West Bengal Amla (Phyllanthus emblica L.) : A Comparative enumeration
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The phyto-constituents present in fruit of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Phyllanthaceae) consumed by the tribal people of West Bengal for the treatment of various disease ailments. Phyllanthus emblica L., a deciduous tree of small to medium size up to 5.5 meters representing a large group of phyto-chemical reservoir of medicinal uses in different disease like diabetes, liver disorder, snake venom neutralizer, diarrhoea, indigestion, anti-tumor, anti-carcinogenic, anti-ulcer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities etc. supporting its ethnicity for the traditional healers. Quantitative estimation of various bioactive constituents reveals the presence of tannins, carbohydrates, acidic compounds, poly phenols, vitamin C, etc. in different proportions. Hence the present investigation was conducted to compare the phyto-constituents of Amla collected from two different regions of West Bengal (one at low land and other at relatively high altitude). The investigation reveals the presence of larger ascorbic acid content West Midnapore region than North Bengal, whereas tannin content is higher in North Bengal. Total poly-phenolic compounds are higher in Jhargram region than that of North Bengal. Hence it can be concluded that climatic and soil composition differences can also play a major role in quantitative changes in phytoconstituents.
