Geetika Bagoria, Pallavi Singh

Abstract


The purpose of this research is to evaluate the chromatographic antioxidative activity and thin-layer analysis of medicinal plant leaves. Its antioxidant activities were calculated by calculating its radical scavenging DPPH and radical scavenging ABTS and were obtained in 35.08 per cent, 32.12 per cent, 17.22 per cent, for this research Bacopa monnieri and Withania somnifera. AGAR diffusion assay was used to carry out antibacterial extract activity, and its antibacterial effect was compared to certain standard antibiotics. The formulation of polyherbal hair oil is always active and has relatively less or no synthetic side effects. On the basis of the findings of this blend of Bacopa monnieri, Tagetes, Withania somnifera leaves were developed as herbal hair oil and checked for the consistency of hair activities for various characteristics including acid content, the saponification value and viscosity. Our studies have shown that extracts from these plants produce bioactive compounds that are medically essential.
