Objective: To perform phytochemical screening on all parts (Root, Stem bark, Stem, Leaf and\udFruit) of Aegle marmelos so as to find out the identical phytocompunds and enhance its usage in\uddrug preparation. Methods: Screening is performed for aqueous and methanol extract of various\udparts of the plant by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. Results: Stem bark and\udroot of aqueous extracts have similar phytochemical compounds. Marmelosin is found in all parts\udof the plant and its concentration is high in fruit. Conclusions: Stem bark could be substituted\udor added along with the root in any of the drug preparation where root is of important. Since\udmarmelosin is a coumarin and is found in all parts we can conclude that coumarins are present in\udall parts of the plant
