Abstract

The current study examines the physicochemical characteristics of Azadirachata indica (Linn). After screening different total ash values, it was discovered that the acid insoluble value was 3.47%w/w. A prominent tree in the Meliaceae family is neem (Azadirachata indica). Bark, leaves, flowers, seeds, oil, and other parts are used for a variety of foods in the Traditional System of Medicine. Numerous neem patent applications for pharmaceutical use have been filed. This review offers a thorough analysis of the phytochemistry, pharmacological activity, and pharmacognosy that have been previously published.

Keywords: Azadirachata indica leaves, acid insoluble ash, ash content, total ash.
