Abstract

Bergenia ciliata (Family.Saxifragaceae) was analysed for its biochemical composition and active medicinal components. The results revealed the presence of active components viz. alkaloids (1.54mg/100g), saponins (0.191 mg/100g) and flavonoids (1.6 mg/100g). The analysis of plant also revealed presence of fair amount of biomolecules namely carbohydrates (23.98mg/g),total sugars (41.95 mg/g) and amino acids (206.5 μg/g) in both rhizome and leaves. Photosynthetic Pigments (Chlorophyll-a, Chlorophyllb and Caroten-oids) were also analysed which showed their co relationship with medicinal components
