Abstract

The aim of the study was to find out the phytochemical constituents and evaluate the elements analysis by EDAX of ethanol leaves extract of Jasminum cuspidatum (L.) Elements were analyzed by SEM-EDAX method. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, saponins phytosterols were analyzed by qualitatively and TLC method with specific solvents systems. The powder was showed the presence of various minerals by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) such as C, O, Mg, Al, P, Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Mo. The reports suggested that ethanol extracts of leaves of Jasminum cuspidatum showed the presence of essential phytochemicals and elemental activities. Based on the results this can take it further research to identify the active principles of above activities.
