Terminalia bellirica is an important medicinal plant. The present work deals with phytochemical screening, UV and FT-IR spectroscopy of ethanolic seed extract of this plant. In phytochemical screening the extract shows the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, phytosterols, terpenoids, phenolic compound, carbohydrates, proteins, tannins, gum and mucilage, alkaloids, saponins, anthoquinone, fixed oil and fats. The UV and FT-IR spectroscopy of ethanolic seed extract of this plant shows the presence of carbonyl group (ketone), α-Β unsaturated amide and lactam, aromatic nature of compound, sulfur compound, nitro compound, flavones, fistin, quercetin, NaQSA (Sodium Salts of Quercetin 5' Sulfonic Acid), myricetin, chalcones and anthocyanin types of flavonoids. The above mention bioactive compound are mainly contributed in medicinal utility of the plant.
