Extraction and Evaluation of some Phytochemcial and Physicochemical properties of Hibiscus rosasinensis mucilage

摘要: Hibiscus rosasinensis (HR) is a shrub belonging to Malvaceae. The leaves of ethanolic extract HR exhibited antidiabetic activity. Mucilage present in HR. objective this research and evaluate the mucilage Leaves were collected slurry was prepared which precipitated using ethanol. precipitates separated dried. dried subjected various phytochemical physicochemical tests. extracted shows presence carbohydrates, reducing sugar whereas glycoside, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids tannins absent. moisture sorption test reveals that can sorbed has ability swelling water as shown by result index test. Other studies indicate properties be used excipient. FTIR spectrum functional groups bonds it possesses. It concluded prepare dosage form. However, absorb moisture, form should packed suitably avoid contact moisture.
