Abstract
Bridelia montana (ROXB) WILLD. is a large shrub or small tree usually growing up to ten meters tall but occasionally upto twenty meters. In present work highest amount of Nitrogen (2.61%) & Phosphorus (0.35%) were found in leaves and higher amount of Potassium (1.32%), Calcium (0.76%) and Magnesium (0.47%) were recorded in stem bark respectively. In the present study we found that, ash (20 %), dry matter (59.5%), and crude Protein (16.31 %) content were more in the leaves and crude fiber (40%), crude fat (65.4%) and moisture (65.7%) were more in stem bark. The acetone, alcohol and distilled water extract shows highest phytochemicals than that of the others. In fresh plant antioxidant analysis leaves contain high amount of carotenoid (6.86mg/100gm) and stem bark shows higher amount of polyphenol (19.52mg/100gm) and ascorbic acid (20.8mg/100mg) content. Antioxidant analysis of dry powder it was found that maximum antioxidant potential present in acetone extract as compare to other solvent extract. Antimicrobial activity was found highest in leaves compare to the bark.
