Abstract :

 North–eastern India has been known for its rich biological diversity. For this study, six aromatic plants such as Alpinia galanga, Hedychium marginatum, Zanthoxylum limonella, Elsholtzia balanda, Amomum aromaticum and Eryngium foetidum were selected. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of phytochemicals and to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the selected aromatic plants. All the six aromatic plants showed variations in the presence of phytochemical constituents. Alpinia galanga (75.01mg/gm) showed the highest value of total phenolic contents among the six aromatic plants. In case of total flavonoid content, Elsholtzia balanda (36.05 mg/gm) showed the highest value among the selected plants.
