Abstract:
Purpose of present study was to evaluate the presence of selected primary metabolites in aqueous hot extract of Eugenia uniflora leaves. Primary metabolites like lipids and amino acids were estimated using standard procedures. Quantitative analysis is very essential for identifying the compounds present in the medicinal plants. The results obtained from the present study provides evidence that aqueous hot extract of Eugenia uniflora leaves contains various primary metabolites and this justifies the use of this plant species as traditional medicine for treatment of various diseases. The results are very much encouraging but scientific validation is necessary before being put into practice.
