Abstract

A variety of techniques can be used to determine and estimate the presences of phyto-constituents in medicinal plants. Spectroscopic methods have been firmly established as a key technological platform to identify and to characterize the biomolecules presents in medicinal plants. The phyto-constituents always resemble their fingerprints (unique signature) under spectroscopic characterizations viz. UV-Vis, Photoluminescence, FT-IR and Raman studies. Thus, the present study is focused to understand the UV-Vis characteristics of Amalakyadi Gana as well as to identify the contained phyto-constituents. Among the spectroscopic techniques, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) has become the most important analytical instrument in the modern day laboratory. It refers to absorption or reflectance spectroscopy.
