Studies on Quality Control and Standardization Parameters of roots of Passiflora foetida Linn
Umesh Jadhao, Sumeet Dwivedi
Abstract
For the treatment of various disorders, almost 80% of the Indian population relies on traditional medicine. As more
people rely on herbal plants, it is important to properly screen out any products made from such plants that don't
meet certain quality criteria. Traditional medicine has utilised Passiflora foetida, often known as stinking passion
flower, to treat conditions like throat infections, giddiness, liver problems, diarrhoea, tumours, neurological
disorders, anxiety, sleep disorders, skin infections, hysteria, and asthma. Additionally, it has been suggested that P.
foetida may possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, anti-hyperglycemic, cardioprotective, antiantioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Among the identified metabolites from this plant, flavonoids,
polysaccharides, -pyrones, and cyanohydrins predominate. The leaves, stems, seeds, resins, and fruits have all been
used to isolate the chemicals. Passiflora foetida Linn. roots were assessed for quality criteria in the current
investigation. Various standardisation parameters were investigated and reported on in this study.
