Abstract The present study was made to investigate the phytochemical screening on leaf extract of Indian Aegle marmelos L. (Bael). The physical parameters determined were pH, total ash, acid soluble ash, acid insoluble ash value, water extract, methanol extract, chloroform extract , petroleum ether extract & UV fluorescence Test. The phytochemical analysis were also performed & the results of phytochemical screening of the aqueous leaves extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, tannin & Phenolic compound. The different parts of Bael are used for various therapeutic purposes, such as for treatment of asthma, anaemia, fractures, healing of wounds, swollen joints, high blood pressure, jaundice, diarrhoea, controlling diabetes, decoction is given to patient suffering from fever and cold. A dried powdered leaves sample were dissolved in different reagents & observed under UV light and fluorescence were recorded. The FTIR Spectra of total water Extractives and Methanol Extractives & ether extract were also performed. The present study clearly indicates that the compounds like alkaloids, flavones, terpenoids and saponins are the active principles present in the leaves of Beal. The FTIR spectra analysis gives an idea about the different functional groups were present in this sample and it can be isolate and can be use the active components of this natural plant for further drug preparation.
