Abstract: 

Plants have a property to synthesize many sustainable aromatic substances. Mostly the phytochemical process undergoes to change simple compounds to complex secondary metabolite derivatives. Those secondary metabolites have medicinal properties. Present work reports the antifungal and phytochemical analysis of Cinnamomumzeylanicum which havebiofractions extracted from bark and leaves. Analysis of Cinnamomumzeylanicum leaf, stem, bark and root bark oils indicated 72 essential oils. Extract from leaf, stem, and bark oils are investigated for phytochemical constituents and anti-fungal activites. Extract with ethyl alcohol gives alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, anthraquinones, phlobatanins, steroids, phenolic, amino acids, proteins, quinones, tanins, reducing sugars. Acetone, Methanol, Ethyl alcohol, and aqueous extracts of Cinnamomum zeylanicum were tested against plant pathogen fungi, Fusariumoxysporum MTCC 7392 and Alternariasp MTCC 9692. Flucanazole (fungicide) standard was used as a positive control. After incubation, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is measured. The zone indicates the antifungal activity. This study reveals the phytochemical characterization and antifungal effect of bark and leaf extracts of indian spice plant, Cinnamomumzeyalnicum(CZ).
