Abstract

The current study objective was to look into phytochemical analysis of Syzygium aromaticum dried flower buds. Clove has long been known to have positive health effects. The majority of the clove spice consumed worldwide comes from home kitchens. One of the most expensive spices, clove (Syzygium aromaticum) has historically been used for both food preservation and for several therapeutic goals. Clove is a native of Indonesia, although it has been cultivated throughout the world, including India. The dried bud powder was successively extracted with water, methanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. The following phytochemicals are present in Syzygium aromaticum, Carbohydrates, lipids, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, sterols and triterpenes are all found, according to the phytochemical examination. Clove, also known as Syzygium aromaticum (Family Myrtaceace), is the most important and second-most precious spice.  The utilization of herbal medicines is a significant source for the development of novel pharmaceutical compounds to treat severe ailments. It offers a wide range of medical benefits including antibacterial, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. In clove dried flower bud extract the identified compounds are Quercetin, Ursolic acid and Gallic acid, all these compounds are responsible for the medicinal properties of clove bud.
