COMPARITIVE STUDY OF DELONIX REGIA AND BUTEA MONOSPERMA

  • Unique Paper ID: 171880
  • PageNo: 1779-1782
  • Abstract:
  • Gulmohar (Delonix regia), commonly known as the "Flame Tree," and Palash (Butea monosperma), referred to as the "Flame of the Forest," are vibrant flowering plants with significant phytochemical properties. While Gulmohar is renowned for its medicinal benefits, Palash flowers remain underexplored as a natural source of pigments. This study aimed to extract color from Palash flowers and evaluate their potential as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes, particularly in color cosmetics [1]. Shade-dried flowers produced a bright orange pigment, which was standardized and assessed for sensory attributes. Results indicated no significant differences in quality attributes when compared to synthetic dyes. These findings highlight Palash flower extract as a sustainable, natural pigment for cosmetic and industrial applications, promoting eco-friendly and chemical-free practices [5].
