Abstract

Aegle marmelos L., belongs to Rutaceae family, is a sacred plant described in Hindu scriptures. It is both therapeutic and cultural significance. Tamarindus indica belongs to family Leguminosae The pulp is also used in traditional medicine, seeds are also reported to have many therapeutic value. Chromatographic fingerprinting of herbal drugs is a complete qualitative approach for species identification and its authentication, qualitative evaluation and assuring the stability of herbal drugs and their related products. In the present research work HPTLC finger printing and GC-MS profile of Aegle marmelos and Tamarindus indica were carried out. Butanol: Acetic acid: Water (2:1:7) was used as mobile phase for Aegle marmelos and Chloroform: Glacial acetic acid: Methanol: Water (6.4:3.4:1.2:0.8) was used for Tamarindus indica. The developed TLC plates shown many peaks at 254 nm, 366 nm and after derivatization, indicates the presence of variety of chemical compounds in the extract. GC-MS profile for Aegle marmelos leaf extract reported around 42 different chemical constituents, whereas Tamarindus indica seed extract showed around 55 chemical constituents.
