T. K. Sujayil, T. S. Dhanaraj

Abstract :

 In the present study to investigate phytochemicals and inorganic elements in Evolvulus alsinoides. The results of this study clearly indicate that the preliminary phytochemical analysis of Evolvulus alsinoides revealed presence of flavonoids, polyphenol, steroids, tannin, saponins, glycosides, anthroquinones, polyphenol, amino acid, alkaloids, carbohydrate, protein while steroids and Phlobatannins were absent. Quantitative analysis revealed that Evolvulus alsinoides rich amount of Total Phenols (324.0 mg/gm), Alkaloids (35.0 mg/gm), Tannin (98.4 mg/gm), Saponin (121.0 mg/gm), Flavonoids 165.0mg/gm) were presented. The vitamin analysis of Evolvulus alsinoides showed that the presence of Vitamin E, C and D while vitamin A was absent. The inorganic elements of Evolvulus alsinoides showed that the presence of calcium, sodium, potassium, sulphate, phosphate, chloride, Nitrate, magnesium and iron while carbonate was absent. The results of the present study concluded that Evolvulus alsinoides may be a good source of phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Supplementation of this Evolvulus alsinoides leaves may be useful for human health associated emerging diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
