ABSTRACT

The leaves are the typical plant is the site of photosynthesis for the plant. The experiment was designed to evaluate the conductivity, concentration, pH-values and temperature of few medicinal plant leaves in the form of powder using distilled water. The distilled water hydrogen ion concentration was neutral [pH 7.0] while the average pHvalues of sample code in decreasing order FR [7.81], FB [7.74], MN [7.22], SY [6.36], and EU [5.95]. The results indicated that the EU sample was shown lowest pH-value. There was a significant difference in the pH – values of investigated samples. The temperature increases the conductivity of samples decreases gradually for FR and SY but temperature increases the conductivity of MN sample increase. The concentration of the samples increases conductivity also decreases up to 80 μg/mL later it is increased for MN, FR, SY and EU. The conductivity of leaves was responsible for the biological activity. There was a positive significant (p<0.05) relationship between the conductivity of the investigated samples.
