Substitution and adulteration in traded herbal raw material are
common practice in the herbal industry due to the extinction of
required species, deforestation and incorrect taxonomical
identification. Herbalists have adopted methods to create high
quality adulteration which cannot be detected without performing
microscopic examination or chemical analysis. It is difficult to
establish specific quality control standards due to the complex
nature and innate unpredictability of the chemical constituents of
medicinal herbs.The main parameters for measurement and
adulteration prevention in medicinal herbs are morphological and
microscopic investigation, chemical profiling and DNA barcoding.
The need for highly sensitive and more effective approaches for the
authentication of medicinal herbs is necessary in order to promote
the acceptance of herbal products. Adulteration In Traditional
Medicinal Herbs is aimed at promoting awareness of adulteration in
traditional herbal medicines for the worldwide scientific
community. Parameters are established for the prevention of
adulteration through classical and modern scientific tools.
Valuable case studies are presented based on ethno-medicinal
surveys performed in many herbal markets in Pakistan. Collections
of various samples were obtained from these shops then compared
with the original plants collected from field. Various
phytochemical, organoleptic and DNA barcoding techniques were used
in order to detect adulteration in the marketed herbal samples.
This book is the first of its kind and is aimed at helping the
scientific community to identify particular medicinal plants which
are facing adulteration problems in herbal markets and to estimate
the extent of adulteration and substitution in commonly used
medicinal herbs.

Regeneration of plants from adventitious shoots is necessary for
application of gene transfer technology and for somaclonal
variation difference in metal uptake in in vivo and in vitro. The
later purpose is particularly interesting for estimation of metal
ions in in vitro culture of Momordica charantia.This study also
leads to the conclusion that in vitro grown plants of Momordica
charantia can behave as natural scavengers if planted to the
chemically polluted soils on large scale in future.
The present piece of work was an effort to find and isolate the
bioactive compounds not only in naturally grown but also in in
vitro grown cell and tissue lines of Mako under controlled
environment and adjustable PGRs.The study of natural product's
profile of tissue cultured plants using GC-MS, is a unique idea,
adopted during the present work, which may lead to the production
and identification of many novel bioactive compounds.
The Ocimum sanctum plant, a native to tropical Asia, is a member of
the Lamiaceae (mint) family, . Ocimum sanctum is also known as
