woodsonii showed weak antimicrobial activity.Ĭonclusion: From this study, it can conclude that C. For antimicrobial test, the leaf extract of C.

For antioxidant activity, the plant extract showed weak antioxidant activity in DPPH scavenging activity assay. As for flavonoids content, plant extract showed 21.7 mg RE/g at concentration of 200µg/ml and 43.4 mg RE/g at concentration of 400µg/ml. The plant extract showed total phenolic content of 7.941 mg GAE/g at concentration of 5µg/ml. Loss on drying at 105 degree Celsius in leaf was found to be 12.67%. Among the three extractions, alcohol extractive values showed the highest as 13%. Physicochemical studies further revealed the ash value of leaf as 8.7%. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoid, steroid, fat, phenol, tannin and mucilage in leaf extract. woodsonii belongs to costaceae with elliptical green leaves. The microbial activity was determined by Well diffusion test, MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) test and MBC (Minimum Bactericidal Concentration) test. woodsonii was determined by performing DPPH radical scavenging. The antioxidant activity of leaf extract of C. woodsonii leaf was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Total flavonoids were estimated in the leaf extract. Method: Macroscopy, microscopy, phytochemical analysis, thin layer chromatography, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity of C. Objective: This research was conducted to study the pharmacognostical, phytochemical, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of C. In Chinese, it is known as Hong Bi Qiao Jiang. In Malay, it is known as Setawar Halia Merah. Costus woodsonii is commonly called as Red Button Ginger and synonyms of the botanical name are Costus spiralis, Alpinia spiralis and Costus pisonis. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Background: Herbal medicine mostly contains wide range of chemical compounds responsible for medicinal therapeutic use. Overall, this report is very beneficial to impart a new information to the food industry as well as the pharmaceutical field, which may broaden the application of this plant as a potential functional crop and bioactive ingredient. This would generate considerable interest to the research community to improve the understanding of this plant. This report would reveal the assessment of sequential extraction performance and its relationship with the properties of C. Many studies indicated that Costus genus plant exhibited high bioactivities such as anticancer, apoptotic effect, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetics, antifungal, and antibacterial properties which revealed the potential values of these plants for nutraceutical application. This study proposed the use of sequential extraction with solvents of different polarities to elute maximum amount of compounds present in Costus woodsonii plant. Practical applications: Sequential extraction procedures have shown a rapid increase in applications, in a wide range of sample types. woodsonii plant and result indicated high polarity solvent (methanol and water) recovered higher bioactive compounds. In short, sequential extraction provides understanding of polarity specificity of C.

Phytochemical screening showed positive presence of flavonoids (all types of extracts), terpenoids (only in methanolic extract), and tannins (except aqueous extract). woodsonii bract, at increasing polarities. Solvents of different polarities (hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water) were used to sequentially extract the C. The current study reports the composition, phytochemical, and antioxidant properties of red button ginger (Costus woodsonii) using sequential extraction. Costus plant is considered as a medicinal plant especially in therapeutic intervention.
