Abstract:
Qualitative and quantitative anti-microbial and phytochemical activities of hibiscus (roots, stem and calyx) extract was carried out. All the three extract of hibiscus root, stem and calyx showed presence of alkaloid, saponins, tannin, flavonoids, glycoside, terpenoids, phenols and steroids. The saponins and flavonoids showed very high presence in the qualitative analysis of the root and stem. Which also justified its high value of 4.21 ± 0.31 in the quantitative analysis of root as well as glycoside of stem with 4.78 ± 0.21. The antimicrobial activities exhibited significant activities against E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus with higher zone of inhibition of 2.42mm against Staphylococcus aureus in the root extract of 300 mg/kg concentration in the least inhibition of 0.17mm against E.coli of root extract of 100mg/kg concentration was also noticed.
