The objectives of this research were to determine the chemical composition of the extract of Trachyspermum ammi L. seeds by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS). The GC-MS is a matchless method for the study and measuring quantity of organic volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Gas chromatography is employed to separates mixtures into individual components employing a temperature-controlled capillary column. Mass spectrometry is utilized to recognize a variety of components from their mass spectra. In the present study, volatile/ semi-volatile compounds present in Ajwain seed extract were analyzed. Ajwain seed extract is extracted by soxhlet extraction method and then analyzed by GC-MS. Total of nine compounds were found and quantified in this study. The major bioactive compounds in Ajwain seed extract are 3,5-dimethylanisole (83.19%), 6-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (Z)-, 7-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (7.42%), and 2-cyclohexyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, 4-oxime (3.01%).
The objectives of this research were to determine the chemical composition of the extract of Macrotyloma uniflorum seeds by using Gas chromatography–Mass Spectrometry analysis (GC-MS). GC-MS is a matchless method to study and measure the quantity of organic volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Gas chromatography is employed to separates mixtures into individual components employing a temperature-controlled capillary column. Mass spectrometry is utilized to recognize a variety of components from their mass spectra. In the present study, volatile/semivolatile compounds present inM. uniflorum seed extract were analyzed. M. uniflorum seed extract isextracted by the soxhlet extraction method and then analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 28 compoundswere found and quantified in this study. The major bioactive compounds in M. uniflorum seed extract are: 1,7-Octadiyne, 1-Propanone, 1-phenyl-3-[2-( phenylmethoxy)phenyl] -(16.93%), Benzene, 1-methyl-4-(1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl)-, (R)-, Benzene, 1-(1,5-dimethyl-4-hexenyl)- 4-methyl- (13.88%) and à-Farnesene, 1,3,6,10-Dodecatetraene, 3,7,11-trimethyl- (Z,E)- (12.68%). The present investigation revealed that M. uniflorum was composed of variety of metabolites and therapeutic active substances as well as novel substances. These substances could be isolated and further empirically evaluated to confirm their biologic and medicinal activities as well as investigate their mechanism of action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
