GC-MS PROFILING OF AQUEOUS AND METHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF MEYNA LAXIFLORA ROBYNS FRUIT PULP
AbstractMedicinal plants are of great importance to researchers in the field of pharmacology as most pharmaceutical industries depend on medicinal plant for their raw materials. Meyna laxiflora belongs to the family Rubaceae and is well known for its medicinal properties. The present study was carried out in continuation of our previous findings to determine the possible bioactive components present in the aqueous and methanolic extracts of Meyna laxiflora fruit pulp. The gas chromatography – Mass spectrometry was used for identification of the bioactive compounds in the extracts and the spectrums of unknown compounds were compared with the compounds stored in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Mass Spectral database (NIST). The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 37 peaks in aqueous extract among these 19 were found to be major compounds while that of methanolic extract showed 24 peaks of which 15 were found to be major compounds. Hence, the present study has generated baseline data for further characterization of fruit pulp extract of this plant.
