Plant phytochemicals have
the potential to be used as pharmaceuticals to improve human health. The first
step in the drug discovery process is to analyse these molecules. In this
investigation, secondary metabolites were detected in the methanol extracts of Curcuma
ecalcarata's rhizomes and leaves. As a result of the investigation, the
extracts were found to contain terpenoids, tannins, steroids, etc.
