FTIR SPECTRAL ANALYSIS, PHYTOCHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF RICINUS COMMUNIS

Ricinus Communis is an industrial oil seed crop, frequently appearing widely distributed spontaneously in the Pakistan that is bio resources of traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases as well as economically most important commodity. The fresh root, seed, stem, flower and leave has been selected, collected and extracted. The FTIR Spectroscopic study was revealed the characteristic peak values between 4000-500 cm-1 for the various functional group. The peak at 2919 wave number cm-1 due to the asymmetric stretching of C-H group of aromatic compound including glycoside, tannin, flavonoid and saponin. The strong Peak at 1600 - 1660 cm-1 region indicated the presence of amino acids and protein. The band at 1030 cm–1, in the leave is attributed to phosphodiester stretching bands region including glycogen, collagen and DNA.The leaves for this study showed appreciable bio resources of phytochemical such as phenolic compound, flavonoid, tannin and protein content; whereas seed showed the appreciable sources of mineral composition including Ca, Mg, Na, K. The antibacterial activity including the Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus were found to be the most sensitive while Staphylococcus aurous least sensitive present study. The growth of Escherichia Coli was inhibited by the mostly all parts of plant whereas flowers and leaves showed good inhibition zone against Escherichia Coli. The presence of these Phytochemicals that will be sources of new drugs for treatment of various types disorders.
