The leaves of Coriandrum sativum commonly known as Cilantro and Petroselinum crispum commonly known as Parsley, family Apiaceae, have several health benefit effects. Most of the people, confused while buying these leaves. In the present study, comparative morphological, microscopic, fluorescence, TLC, and phytochemical parameters, comparative assessment of phenolic and flavonoid contents and in-vitro antioxidant activity of C. sativum and P. crispum leaves were carried out using standard methods. The leaves of these plants are morphologically similar, except other characteristics such as smells, number of lobes and serrate. The microscopic study showed the presence of different types of stomata, epidermis, fibers, and trichrome. Comparative fluorescence, ash content, LOD, and extractive content study were shown the distinct features. The total phenols and flavonoids of the leaves of P. crispum were higher than the leaves of C. sativum, and its antioxidant activity was also stronger than the leaves of C. sativum. The present comparative study reports the first time and can be useful for the identification or authentication of P. crispum and C. sativum leaves or its powder. The in-vitro study proved these edible green leaves may be useful for the dietary supplements.

“…The authentication of the crude drug material is necessary because it maintains the quality of crude drug as well as claimed therapeutic activities 16 . The microscopic analysis is one of the widely used and cheapest methods for authenticating the exact raw material from the natural resources 17 . The Transverse Section (TS) outline of the root showed a circular outline with different layers starting with epidermis, cortex, and endodermis along with the presence of well-developed medullary rays, xylem and phloem.…”

The present study was designed to explore some of the quality principles and in vitro antioxidant exploration of Silene villosa "a non-intentional" herb. The pharmacognostical study and phytochemical evaluation of the herbs of S. villosa was carried out following the reported methods. The total phenolic contents and antioxidant potential of the methanol extract was also evaluated applying the standard methods. Microscopic features of the Transverse Section (T.S) of the root were observed as epidermis, medullary rays, xylem cells, phloem cells. The microscopic study of the powder showed the presence of spiral vessels, lignified fibre or tannin containing cells. The extractive value showed the water soluble materials were higher than the alcohol soluble materials. Primarily phytochemical analysis and total phenolic contents (11.78±0.169 %) in powder and extract respectively were conducted. The methanol extract of S. villosa showed dose dependent antioxidant activity. The present study helps in authentication of S. villosa and enhances further exploration of the health benefits due to the presence of phenolic contents and antioxidant property.

Herbal medicines frequently suffer with quality controversies because of similar species or varieties. This often leads to sophistication or admixture of the crude drug as they share various look alike physical features. Commercially, stalks of Caralluma edulis are commonly adulterated with other species because of their analogous morphology. In the present research, the microscopic standardization of the drug was performed by structural, histological, and anatomical features. Pharmacognostical characterization was carried out by physicochemical (moisture content, swelling index, pH value, ash values, and extractive values) and fluorescence analysis. The chemical characterization by UV–Visible, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and high‐performance liquid chromatography was also performed that disclosed the chief phytoconstituents of the herbal drug. The above mentioned constraints, being reported for the first time in C. edulis, are substantial in establishing the microscopic and pharmacopoeial standards for future identification and authentication.
