Physicochemical and phytochemical screening in Lantana camara leaves

Abstract

Phytochemicals are a field of increasing attention, both in science and in commerce. As is now generally recognized, many plant compounds and pigments have effects on animals and human beings. There is a great effort now to study and understand at a fundamental level and significant health effects of these compounds. In the present study to investigate the physicochemical analysis and phytochemical screening in Lantana camara leaves. The results of the present study concluded that Lantana camara leaves may be a good source of phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Supplementation of this Lantana camara leaves may be useful for human health associated emerging diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
