GC-MS Screening of Some Bioactive Compounds from Methanolic Extract of Medicinally Relevant Wild Edible Plant Parts
Keywords:
Bioactive Compounds, GCMS analysis, Wild Edible Plants.Abstract
In present study the bioactive compounds from methanolic extract of Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent, Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) DC, Ensete Superbum (Roxb.) Cheesuran, Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz and Smilax zeylanica L. were evaluated by using GC-MS method. The GC-MS analysis of the methanolic extract revealed that presence of many similar major compound like Hexadecanoic acid- methyl ester, 9-Octadecynoic acid- methyl ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid- methyl ester and Pentadecanoic acid. Majority of the compounds were belonging to acid group. Common compound in all these plants was hexadecanoic acid.
