Abstract :
Background: Clitoria ternatea Linn of family Fabaceae, originates from tropical Asia and thereafter widely transported throughout South and Central America, East and West Indies, China and India, where it became naturalized. Traditionally it is used as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging etc.
Objective: The present study was to carry out the Pharmacognostical, Phytochemical and Formulation studies on the flowers of Clitoria ternatea Linn.
Materials and methods: The fresh flowers were collected, shade dried and powdered. Macroscopical and microscopical studies of fresh flowers and dried powdered flowers were conducted. Powdered flowers are extracted with Soxhlet apparatus using ethanol as solvent. Ethanolic extract were subjected to phytochemical screening. A herbal soap was prepared from dried powder and ethanolic extract of flowers of Clitoria ternatea Linn. After completion of formulation it was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters.
Result and discussion: Microscopy shows the presence of epidermal cells, vascular bundles, trichomes etc. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of Alkaloids, Flavanoids, Tannins, Carbohydrates and saponins etc. Physicochemical parameters of herbal soap like pH, foam height, foam retention, etc. were determined. This whole study helps to reveal more information about macroscopical and microscopical characters, phytoconstituents present in Clitoria ternatea Linn, parameters for formulating it into an herbal soap.
Key words: Clitoria ternatea; Pharmacognosy; Microscopy; Phytochemical; Formulation
