Abstract

Psidium guajava L. is a small tree belongs to Myrtaceae family, traditionally used in treatment of several diseases like inflammation, diabetes, hypertension, wounds, pain and fever. The present study was carried out to investigate the physico-chemical properties and phytochemical analysis of leaves, stem bark and root of Psidium guajava L. Phytochemical analysis shows the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, triterpenies, saponins; cardiac glycosides sterols, alkaloids and carbohydrates. The studies of these parameters ascertain the claimed medicinal or therapeutic effects of plants secondary metabolites and pigments that can have therapeutic actions in humans and will be boosting the research in the development of herbal medicine for combat diabetes.

Water Quality Analysis Using Physiochemical Parameters and Geospatial Distribution for Five Selected Lakes of Bhandara District In
