Abstract:
Synchronized sound waves in the form of Indian classical ragas have a remarkable impact on the living beings. According to various studies, Indian Classical music has been confirmed to encourage plant growth positively and it is observed that the sounds from metal-rock, rock, rap, pop, and monotonous sounds have a negative impact on plant growth. The present research work was aimed at finding the impact and effect of the synchronized sound waves and their frequencies in different strings and closed-pipe Indian classical instrumental music displayed through various Ragas, viz: Raga- Kedar (flute), Raga- Kedar (santoor), Raga-Rageshree (sitar), Raga-Bhairavi (flute), Raga- Shree (Sarangi), Raga- Milan kiTodi (Sarod), Raga- Ramkali (Sitar) on phytochemical analysis in the leaves of Insulin (Chamaecostus cuspidatus). The standard deviation values in all of the pure solvents indicates that the data were spread over a wider range of values, which further showed that the treated plants have higher concentration phytochemicals when compared to that of the untreated samples. The total phenol content was found to be 207.66±0.33 mg/GAE per gram extract and 113.33±3.33 mg/GAE per gram extract in case of treated and untreated plant samples of Chamaecostus cuspidatus respectively. Similarly, the total flavonoid content was found to be 37.66±0.33 mg QE/g extract and 26.66±0.33 mg QE/g extract in case of treated and untreated plant samples respectively and the total tannin content was found to be 843±1.99 mg TAE/g extract and 503±0.57 mg TAE/g extract in case of treated and untreated plant samples respectively.
