Abstract
In the present study, the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the entire plants of Amaranthus polygonoides and Amaranthus viridis was preliminarily screened for their phytochemicals. The results of qualitative analysis revealed that they contain mostly tannins, saponins, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, proteins, cardioglycosides and phenols. Moderately ethanol extracts possess more constituents than aqueous extracts in both the test plants. In the chemical test results ethanol extracts of Amaranthus viridis contain more number of phytochemicals qualitatively and where as Amaranthus polygonoides shows low number of secondary metabolites.
