Abstract: Quality is the basis of reproducible efficacy and safety of herbal drugs, and to ensure the
standard of research on herbal medicines, the quality of the plant materials or preparations is of
utmost importance. This is because many contaminants and residues that may cause harm to the
consumers have been reported. In this research some medicinal plants were selected randomly
from BMRC herbal garden of the Forestry research institute of Nigeria, Ibadan to assess the level
of microbial loads. Parkia biglobosa, Mormodica charantia, Launea taraxacifolia and Eruca
sativa were the plants assessed for Microflora assessment. |
