Abstract– Bixa orellana L. is commonly known as lipstick tree or sinduri belongs to the family Bixaceae. It is good medicinal properties and also used in industry as dye. The present study focused to analyzed extractive value, ash value and phytochemicals of leaf, bark and stem of Bixa orellana L. Extractive value was higher in methanolic extract of bark (12.67±0.41) as compare to the other plant parts. In total ash value and acid insoluble ash value was highest in leaf. The phytochemical screening of methanolic and aqueous plant extract was conducted to detect the presences of ten bioactive compounds including alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, carbohydrate, protein, starch, terpenoids, tannins, saponins and glycosides. The determination of ash and extractive values provides information about the purity, potency, and consistency of plant drugs, will be helpful for standardization of drug.
