Isolation and Characterization of Ficus benghalensis Linn Milk Latex by using UV Spectrophotometry

Herbal medicines play a significant part in human healthcare. Traditional medical systems including Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and homoeopathy have all used Ficus benghalensis. The fruits, aerial roots, bark, and leaves of the tree are all known to have historical associations with menorrhagia, dysentery, diarrhoea, anti-hemorrhoidal, neurological diseases, and tonic qualities. On the other hand, Ayurveda is mostly recognized for its therapies for diabetes. There are no publications that provide a thorough analysis of the phytochemicals found in F. benghalensis milk latex. The goal of the study is to assess its bioactive components and apply conventional knowledge to understand its biological actions. Extracts of hexane and chloroform from the bark milk latex of F. benghalensis were assessed using a range of physiological and phytochemical tests. Additionally, the spectrophotometric UV-2400PC Series instrument with measurement properties was used to characterize the extract. Wavelength Range (200.00 to 800.00nm) with Medium Scan Speed. And the reaction was enthusiastic and extremely fulfilling.
