Abstract: Herbal medicines are part of our daily routine. Usage of synthetic drugs provides instant relief but doesn’t give a long term solution. Here we report few medicinal plants of Indigofera Tinctoria, Momordica Cymbalaria, and Withania Somnifera that has been collected in Krishnankoil area of Virudhunagar district in Tamil Nadu. The identification of biomolecules was investigated using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Charge transfer between bonding, antibonding, non-bonding was analyzed with UV-Vis spectroscopy along with measurement of absorption. Phytochemical testing was carried out inorder to understand the important constituents in the chosen herbals.
Keywords: Indigofera Tinctoria, Momordica Cymbalaria, Withania Somnifera, FTIR, UV-Vis Spectroscopy.
Scope of the Article: Bio-Science and Bio-Technology
