Medicinal plants have been used as chief antidotes for the cure of numerous diseases since time immemorial. To investigate the quality assurance and authentication of medicinal plants, pharmacognostical, physicochemical and preliminary phytochemical studies of the different parts (root, stem and flower) of Cyperus rotundus were carried out. Present study deals with WHO (World Health Organization) recommended methods, fluorescence, phytochemical characteristics for standardization of plant parts by using a soxhlet apparatus in order of increase polarity. The extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard procedures. Phytochemical investigation led to the revelation of the presence of enormous kinds of primary and secondary metabolite’s as protein, carbohydrate, phenole, flavonoid, alkaloid, terpenoid, and saponin, etc., in trace, moderate and high amount in various extracts of different parts of experimental plant. It was concluded that the plant is rich in phytochemicals with significant pharmacological applications that may supply drugs for modern medicines and can be valuable for the therapeutic index. Information obtained from these studies help in determining the antioxidant capacity and contributes to the predominant group of bioactive components which can be used as markers in the identification and standardization of this plant as a herbal remedy.
