Abstract: In the present study, extracts of selected plants namely Albizzia lebbeck, Berberis aristata, Mucuna pruriens, Myristica fragrans, Catharanthus roseus, and Caesalpinia bonducella which are used in the Ayurvedic traditional system of medicine to treat diabetes were tested for their glucose adsorption capacity. It was observed that the adsorption capacities of all the plant extracts were directly proportional to the molar concentration of glucose and higher amounts of glucose was bound with increased glucose concentration. The samples were effective in adsorbing glucose at both low and higher concentrations of glucose used in the study (5mM/L and 100mM/L). The results demonstrated that extract of C. bonducella adsorbed 73.96% of glucose from a 100mM glucose solution. The amount of glucose adsorbed was highest when compared to other extracts used in the study. The extract of B. aristata and M. pruriens exhibited adsorption of 71.44% and 71.25% of glucose respectively from a 100mM glucose solution
