QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF β SITOSTEROL AND STIGMASTEROL IN ASPARAGUS .RACEMOSUS , AND, TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA

Abstract

Ethanobotanical and Phytopharmaceutical studies showed that the plants have good medicinal value for the tribes of Rajasthan. The primary screening of primary metabolites showed that the metabolite content were high in these plants. The Quantitative data revealed that in A.racemosus   the maximum amount of total sterols  (β-sitosterol and Stigmasterol) in seeds (12.90 mg/gdw) and minimum in roots (7.82 mg/gdw) .In T.cordifolia  the maximum amount of total sterols (β-sitosterol, stigmasterol) was observed in seeds (15.18 mg/gdw) and minimum was found in Stem (6.57  mg/gdw).
