Phytochemical constituents of plants with varied phytochemical, physiological and biochemical activity has received attention to use them as food, medicine. A major phyto-chemicals present in Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. are Proteins, Saponin, Amino acids, Cardial Glycosides. In Cyperus rotundus Linn. contains Tannin, Coumarin, Proteins, Flavonoids, Phenol, Cardial Glycosides. While in Typha angustifolia L. contains Saponin, Tannin, Coumarin, Flavonoids etc. Major phtyo-chemical is Tannin, Saponin, Proteins and Cardial Glycosides present in their leaves of all these weeds.
