Petroselinum crispum (Parsley) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) are aromatic herbs belonging to Apiaceae and Lamiaceae family. Phytochemical, GC-MS and FTIR properties of ethanolic extract of Foeniculum vulgare and Petroselinum crispum leaves investigated. Plant leaves were extracted based on separation using ethanol and subjected to phytochemical testing that revealed the presence of biologically active substances including terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and cardiac glycosides. GC-MS evaluation of Foeniculum vulgare revealed two bioactive compounds (1,4 Cyclohexadiene and Metronidazole) and Petroselinum crispum revealed six bioactive compounds (Cineole, I-Limonene, Cyclohexane, Phenol, Neophytadiene and 9,12,15 octadecatrienoic). FTIR analysis of parsley displayed strong bands at 2915.50 cm -1 which corresponds to C-H stretching and medium band at 1476.80 cm -1 which corresponds to N-H stretching vibrations due to the presence of amino acids. Fennel displayed strong bands at 2832.61 cm -1 which is equivalent to C-H showing saturated and unsaturated compounds and medium band at 1029.98 cm -1 corresponds to C-O present in esters. Antibacterial activity of these plants confirmed their effectiveness in the traditional medicine.
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.
