Many extraction techniques have been used for obtaining bioactive compounds from plant origins nowadays. Conventional extraction is usually performed at reflux temperature for several hours, and this method is very time consuming and requires relatively large quantities of solvents. Over the last decade, the demand for new extraction techniques has encouraged the development of alternative extraction techniques. Microwave-assisted extraction is the simplest and the most economical technique for extraction of many plant derived compounds. Microwave assisted extraction can reduce both...

India is the country of colourful flowers. People use the colorful flowers for their ornamental use and also for their medicinal uses since ancient time. The method of wet chemistry such as titrimetric analysis and gravimetry still has an important role in modern analytical chemistry. There are many areas in which titrimetric procedures are invaluable. Almost any highly colored fruit or vegetable or flower petal has the potential for use as an acid base indicator. Acid-base indicators are commonly employed to mark the end of an acid-base titration or to measure the existing pH of a solution.

The reason of inclination of the researchers towards the herbal system for the treatment of many ailments is the high cost involved with manufacturing the modern medicines.
