Abstract

Elaterria cardamomum, Saraca indica & Withania somnifera are medicinal plants of very high importance and belongs to family Zingiberaceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae respectively. An effort was taken in present study to develop an analytical protocol for the development of finger printing profile for the above said plants through HPTLC which will be used to analyze the purity, adulteration, quality of the plant. Extraction was done using methanol by soxhlet apparatus. Finger printing profiles was developed by using the silica gel 60, F 254 (Merck) plates and were scanned under UV-254nm and 366mn. The TLC finger printing would aid in identification of the Elaterria cardamomum, Saraca indica & Withania somnifera.
