Abstract
A plant is a major source of phytochemicals. There are so many phytochemicals present in the plant which work as bioactive compounds and help to cure diseases. The present study represents the qualitative analysis of the major bioactive compounds of medicinally useful plants Allium cepa L. (Onion) and Allium sativum L. (Garlic) in its different extracts of bulb from selected districts of Gujarat Chloroform was selected as non-polar solvent, acetone as polar protic and methanol and distilled water as polar protic solvent. The qualitative screening tests were conducted by using standard protocol. The qualitative screening tests showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, phytosterols, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, diterpenes, proteins and amino acids except cardiac glycosides. The presence of these phytochemicals indicates the pharmacological activity of different extracts of these plants.
