FTIR Analysis and Phytoconstituents Screening of Aegle Marmelos L. Leaves in Various Extracts

Medicinal plants are used in traditional medicine to cure various ailments. They consist of a number of bioactive components like alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, tannins, phenolic compounds, etc. are used for the treatment of several diseases. Aegle marmelos L. is a spiritual, religious and important medicinal plant commonly called bael. Different parts of bael used in ethnomedicine are known to possess antioxidant, antidiarrheal, antibacterial, antidysenteric, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic activities. The aim of the present investigation is to carry screening of phytochemical constituents and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic analysis of various extracts of Aegle marmelos L. leaves. The preliminary screening of phytoconstituents was carried out by standard methods. In the Aegle marmelos L. leaves the presence of phytochemicals such as carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, steroids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins were present in aqueous, acetone, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, ethanol, methanol and petroleum ether extract. Results of the FTIR spectra of leaves extracts revealed the presence of various functional groups like alkanes, aldehydes, amides, alcohols, esters, ethers, carboxylic acids, carbonyl group, aromatic compounds, etc. All these compounds pertain to the bioactive components and could be responsible for the medicinal properties of Aegle mermelos L. © 2020 iGlobal Research and Publishing Foundation.
