 ABSTRACT

Ocimum species is a fast-growing shrub belonging to the family Lamiaceae. The various species of Ocimum such as Ocimum basillicum, Ocimum gratissimum, Ocimum kilimandscharicum, Ocimum sanctum(green), Ocimum sanctum(purple) have found its great role in pharmacology. In this study, Qualitative and Quantitative phytochemical analysis has been done to determine the presence of phytochemical compounds such as Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins. Tannins, Phenols, Proteins, Cardiac glycosides, Terpenoids, Carbohydrates, Quinones by using standard methods in the different extracts of Ocimum leaf powder. Determination of all these secondary metabolites content has been carried out. The secondary metabolites obtained from these plants act as natural antioxidants which have medicinal values to humans. Thus in our present study, Qualitative and Quantitative phytochemical analysis has been done in the leaves of Ocimum plants which is used in the pharmacology at greater use.

Keywords: Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum gratissimum, Ocimum kilimandscharicum, Ocimum sanctum, phytochemical, Antioxidants, Qualitative-Quantitative analysis.
