Background: Dodonaea viscosa, known as the broadleaf hop bush, is a species of flowering plant in the Dodonaea (hop bush) genus that has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions of Africa, the Americas, southern Asia and Australasia. Dodonaea belongs to sapindaceae, the soapberry family.
Methods: The macroscopic and microscopical characters were studied to identify the plant. The present work deals with studies on anatomy, phytochemistry, pharmacochemical characterization such as ash values, extraction values and organoleptic studies of Dodonaea viscosa
Conclusion: The organoleptic study of the leaf and bark plant powder of Dodonaea viscosa revealed the different colour, taste, odour, texture, and insect infestation to the propertie.. View More»
