Abstract:
Cissus quadrangularis is an ancient medicinal and multipurpose plant used traditionally for different healing treatments. The stem of Cissus quadrangularis is also reputed in Ayurveda as alterative, anthelmintic, dyspeptic, digestive, tonic, analgesic in eye and ear diseases in the treatment of irregular menstruation and asthma in complaints of the back and spine. On the account of its traditional usage, there is no precise scientific evidences; Hence, this study was planned to find out nutritional values and preliminary screening of phytochemicals of Cissus quadrangularis stem extracts with various solvents viz., Petroleum ether, Acetone, Hexane, Ethanol, Methanol, Ethyl acetate, Chloroform, and Aqueous. The results revealed that the composition of chemical constituents in 100 g of powdered air dried sample were as moisture 85.54 g, pH 5.04, acidity 8.96, crude fibre 17.01 g, protein 11.4 g, fat 5.83 g, ascorbic acid 295 mg and β-carotene 237 mg. Results indicated that Cissus quadrangularis was acidic in nature and had high amount of crude fibre and protein with less amount of fat. It had substantial amounts of ascorbic acid and β-carotene. The seven phytochemicals were screened for, and all were found present in one solvent extract or the other. It manifested that the presence of different phytochemicals in the Cissus quadrangularis stem extracts confirmed the ability to serve a source of natural medicines.
