<title>PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PEEL OF AMORPHOPHALLUS PAEONIIFOLIUS </title>
<abstract>The present study aims qualitative screening of the phytochemicals present in the peel of  lessThan i greaterThan Amorphophallus paeoniifolius  lessThan /i greaterThan (Jimikand/ Suran) for its utilization as a potential therapeutic. The peel extract was prepared by dissolving dried peel powder in solvents like water, methanol, petroleum ether, and chloroform and concentrated using a rotary vacuum evaporator. The standard qualitative test for each of the peel solvent extracts was performed, which indicated the presence of alkaloids, tannins, phenols, carbohydrates and fat in the peel. Total phenolic content was found better in methanolic and chloroform extracts than other aqueous and petroleum ether extract. The present study summarizes  lessThan i greaterThan Amorphophallus lessThan /i greaterThan  peels utilization and verification of bioactive ingredients that include important constituents for pharmacological activity.</abstract>
