Abstract

Pharmacognostic evaluation of Amorphophallus campanulatus tubers for extractive value, total ash content, solubility, crude fibre content , fluorescence analysis were analysed. High extractive value was found in hydro alcohol (50%), total ash valve was found to be 6.2%w/w, and the solubility was found more in ethanol 9.2%w/w than compared with water. Fluorescence analysis of powder was carried by treating with acid and alkali.
