Abstract: The article presents a study on the dibutyl phthalate of the medicinal plant Mimusops elengi, or Bakul, from the Sapotaceae family in Pune, India. The medicinal plant enhances the fertility of women, cures snake bites, and is used as tonic or gargle to clean teeth. The study uses the plant materials to extract and monitor the dibutyl phthalate compound through thin-layer chromatograpy. Furthermore, the results reveal chromatography as the isolated compound.
