Abstract
The aim of the present work to study the Pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of different parts properties of Clitoria ternatea Linn. Physiochemical values such as the Moisture contents, percentage of total ash, acid insoluble ash, acid soluble ash, water soluble ash, extractive values as petroleum ether-soluble extractives, ethanol-soluble extractives, and water-soluble extractives were calculated as well as colour reactions of powder and extract with different chemicals were performed to observe fluorescence analysis. The extracts were subjected to qualitative screening test for various constituents. The preliminary phytochemical test on alcoholic and water extracts indicates the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavanoids, saponins, carbohydrates, phenols, lignins and terpenoids. These observations will help in the Pharmacognostical identification and standardization of the drug in the crude form and also to distinguish the drug from its adulteration.
