Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the pharmacognostical characters and preliminary phytochemical profile of Chinchasthi (seed kernel of Tamarindus indica Linn.) for standardization. the drug was subjected to macroscopic, microscopic, and powder microscopy evaluation, along with preliminary phytochemical screening using standard methods. Microscopy evaluation analysis revealed characteristic features such as polygonal parenchyma cells, starch grains, oil globules and sclerides, while preliminary phytochemical evaluation confirmed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins, and saponins, with alkaloids and steroids.
