Phytochemical Screening of Some Medicinal Plants of Rutaceae Family

Present study focuses on testing the leaves and stems of selected three medicinal plants of Rutaceae family found in the Chitrakoot region. The plant parts were extracted using methanol and water through hot methods. These extracts were then tested for various chemical compounds such as carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, saponins, steroids, tannins, phenols and terpenoids. The results showed that these plants contain many useful natural compounds. These substances may help in preventing chronic diseases.
