ABSTRACT
Tinosoporacordifolia, Ocimum tenuiflorum,Asparagus racemosus and Bacopa monnieri are all important and plants with significant medicinal properties from these plants secondary metabolites extracts were derived and TLC characterization was done.

This paper delves into the intricate downstream processing steps and the utilization of specialized equipment in the extraction and purification of secondary metabolites from four medicinal plants: Tinospora cordifolia, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Asparagus racemosus, and Bacopa monnieri. The study emphasizes the optimization of extraction methods, purification techniques, and the role of specific equipment in enhancing the efficiency of the downstream processing workflow.
