The flowers compounds were analysed and identified as chalcone, butein, orange yellow needles and flavanone, butein and its glycoside butrin. The crude flower petals dye after further purification and refining has tremendous scope as a medicine and can also serve as colouring material in pharmaceutical syrup, soft drinks and other food products like jam, chow mein, noodles, sausage, etc. Natural dye from the flower petals of Palash and its probable application in the field of pharmaceutical industry, textile and food items.
