Plants contain many sources in traditional system, Neutraceuticals, Folk and Ayurvedic medicines. Medicinal plants contains a great source of economic value all over the world. The plant extracts are mainly used for pharmaceuticals and for natural therapies. Azadirachta indica is commonly known as neem tree or Indian lilac. Amla is commonly known as Phyllanthus acidus or Phyllanthus emblica. The main objective was to check the characterisation study in the combination plant of Azadirachta indica and Phyllanthus acidus. The fresh (wet) plant sample of Neem and Amla was done in Ethyl acetate and Hexane solvents in various concentrations. The present study investigated to explore the preliminary phytochemical constituents, ultrasonication, purification techniques such as TLC and column chromatography of combination plants are used wherelse both the solvents were used. Compare to Hexane, Ethyl acetate gave the best result in characterization studies.

Abstract


Plants contain many sources in traditional system, Neutraceuticals, Folk and Ayurvedic medicines. Medicinal plants contains a great source of economic value all over the world. The plant extracts are mainly used for pharmaceuticals and for natural therapies. Azadirachta indica is commonly known as neem tree or Indian lilac. Amla is commonly known as Phyllanthus acidus or Phyllanthus emblica. The main objective was to check the characterisation study in the combination plant of Azadirachta indica and Phyllanthus acidus. The fresh (wet) plant sample of Neem and Amla was done in Ethyl acetate and Hexane solvents in various concentrations. The present study investigated to explore the preliminary phytochemical constituents, ultrasonication, purification techniques such as TLC and column chromatography of combination plants are used wherelse both the solvents were used. Compare to Hexane, Ethyl acetate gave the best result in characterization studies.
