“…Inside, the tint readily comes off in broad flat chunks on the outside surface. [3] Extraction 100 g of fine coarse powder was crushed and extracted using different solvents such as hexane, chloroform, and methanol in a precise order depending on increasing polarity. For each of the following solvents, the soxhlet hot extraction technique was run for around 15 minutes.…”

The phytochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties of Terminalia arjuna were investigated using a standard methodology. It's high in secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, proteins, and steroid hormones. As well as carbs, The methanol extract had a DPPH value of 208.6. Terminalia On Aspergillus fumigatus (20 mm), arjuna at 100 mg/ml demonstrated the most action. More research is required to identify the active principle from the phytopharmaceutical study on several extracts.

“…The polymorphisms in the enhanced fragments are brought about by: 1) base replacement or excision at the preparation sites, 12 2) primer insertions at loci too far apart to result in amplification or 13 3) insertions or deletions that change the size of the amplified fragment. 14 Due to its ease of use (no prior DNA sequence information is required), low expense, ability to produce a high volume of DNA markers within a brief time frame, and the use of non-complex equipment, RAPD has a wide scope of applications. 15…”

The available information on the abundance of restorative plants on earth is incomplete, and the data regarding botanicals from various countries differ significantly. The substantial development of the worldwide natural botanical market is attributable to the expanding revenue of global drug companies trading herbal medicines. This essential type of traditional medical care is depended on by approx. 72-80% of individuals. Even though numerous restorative plants are readily used, they have never been subject to the same strict quality guidelines as conventional drugs. Nonetheless, it is vital to have specific organic, phytochemical, and molecular tools and methods for identifying restorative plant species so that traditional and novel plant products can be safely used in modern medicine. Molecular biotechnology approaches provide a reliable and accurate way to identify botanicals and can be used to ensure the safety and efficacy of plant-based products. This review explores various molecular biotechnology approaches and methods for identifying botanicals.

Trees play a chief role in the existence of human civilization. We get a glimpse of the trees that have to be planted at a site in Varahamihira's Brihat Samhita. In Brihat Samhita tank bunds are discussed to be shaded with Mangifera indica, Terminalia arjuna, Ficus religiosa, Ficus benghalensis, Syzygium cuminii, Mitragyna parviflora, Borassus flabellifer, Madhuca longifolia, Mimusops elengi, and Saraca asoca 1 .Saraca asoca or Jonesia asoca Roxb., commonly known as Ashoka, is a medicinal tree used to treat gynecological problems, as found in records of Charaka Samhita, Bhavprakasha Nighantu, and the treatise of Susruta 2-4 . Belonging to the genus Saraca, it comes under the Fabaceae family.The genus Saraca includes Saraca asoca (Roxb.) De Wilde, Saraca indica Linné, Saraca thaipingensis Cantley ex Prain, Saraca celebica De Wilde, Saraca griffithiana Prain, Saraca hullettii Prain, Saraca declinata (Jack) Miq., and Saraca dives Pierre, to name a few 5 . Of these, S.asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde, S.indica L., S.declinata Miq. (Red Saraca) and S.thaipingensis Prain (Yellow Saraca) has been reported in India. While S.asoca grows in the wild, the other three are grown in botanical gardens. [6][7] Though mainly used for ornamental purposes, they possess immense medicinal values. 7 Ashoka is a perennial evergreen tree, growing to a height of 10m. 9 Though a native of the Indian sub-continent, it is also seen in Sri Lanka and the Indo-Malaysian region. In India, Ashoka trees are found in Peninsular India, comprising the Western and Eastern Ghats and the sub-Himalayan tracts, to an altitude of 750m. It also prefers to grow in semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests and is found along river streams. 10,11 Red lateral alluvial soil is suitable for growth and requires an annual rainfall of 2000-4000mm. 12 Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde, though known as Ashoka, has many common names in different languages -Ashoka in Hindi, Kankeli in Sanskrit, Ashokadamara in Kannada, Ashokapatta in Telugu, Asokam in Malayalam, and Asogam in Tamil. 13 It is considered a 'sacred tree' by both Hindus and Buddhists and holds high significance and importance in mythology, literature, and history. 2 The first variety of Ashoka -Aswani-I -with high bark yield and more tannin content has been released through a single plant selection method. 14 Other than 'Ashokarishta' and 'Ashokaghrita' many tablets, tonics, and syrups made from S.asoca are available in the market like 'Ashotone', and 'Ashonil'. 10 The Ayurvedic formulation of Ashokarishta comprises of Saraca asoca bark, Woodfordia fruticosa flower, Cuminum cyaminum fruit, Cyperus rotundus rhizome, Zingiber officinale rhizome, Berberis aristata stem, Nymphea stellata flower, Terminalia bellirica fruit pericarp, Terminalia chebula fruit pericarp, Phyllanthus emblica fruit pericarp, Mangifera indica endosperm, Adhatoda vasica root, Santalum album heartwood, and jiggery. 15 The bark helps in stopping excessive menstrual bleeding and hemorrhagic dysentery due to the presence of tannins. 16 Chemical investi...
