In the present study Phytochemical and Physicochemical studies on mucilage
extracted from fruit of Polyalthia longifolia have been evaluated. The preliminary
phytochemical screening revealed the presence of Carbohydrate, Amino acid and Protein
content, alkaloid, volatile oil, phytosterol. For exact and proper identification of plant and its
constituents, Physicochemical parameters like (Total ash, pH, R.I is fundamental physical
property can be used to identify the substances, confirm its purity and to measure the
concentration. From above results the R.I of Polyalthia longifolia fruit mucilage powder it was
1.364), Specific gravity, Water holding capacity) provide useful information.
