Plants are considered as one of the main sources of
several bioactive compounds that contain many primary metabolites like
carbohydrates, proteins, phenols, ascorbic acid etc. These compounds are used
in flavouring, perfume production, manufacture of insecticides, sweeteners and
natural dyes. Recent biochemical research studies showed that the metabolites
isolated from different parts of Tinospora Cordifolia are highly potential
candidate for industrial applications.
