It is known for its antimicrobial and medicinal properties. Stems of T. indica collected from Campus, CCS HAU, Hisar were extracted with hot methanol. Column chromatography of the extractives over silica gel revealed seven compounds. Three known compounds isolated from Tamarindus indica were β-sitosterol, β-sitoaterol-β-D-glucosiede and β-D-glucopyranose while other four compounds viz Propyl tricos-9-enoate, Propyl tricosanoate, bis-Hexadecanyl ketone, α-decyl-γ-undecyl glyceride are being reported for the first time. The characterization of isolated compounds was carried out on the basis of UV-vis, IR, 1H NMR and Mass spectral data. The methanolic extract of stems was tested for antifungal activity at 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 dilutions against Fusarium oxysporum and percentage inhibition was recorded. All dilutions were found to be devoid of any antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum.enTamarindus indica, Byproducts, Extraction, Organic compounds, Organic acid salts, Planting, Aromatic compounds, Esters, Alcohols, SowingThesis
