Phytochemical Screening, Gc-MS and Ft-Ir Analysis of Methanolic Extract Leaves of Elettaria Cardamomum

Abstract

In this modern era, medicinal plants are at great attention to the researchers as most of the drug industries depend on medicinal plants for the production of therapeutic compounds. In many countries especially in India, plants are the conventional source of pharmaceutical biochemical, food colours, flavours and fragrances. Hence, the main aim of the study was the identification of bioactive compounds from the leaves of Elettaria cardamomum by Gas Chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The GC-MS study revealed the presence of various compounds like Vitamin E, Squalene, Eucalyptol, Stigmast-5-en-3-ol, 4H-1-Benjopyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-5, 7-dihydroxy-2-pheny, Octadecanoic acid, Phytol, Hexadecanoic acid in the methanolic extract of Elettaria cardamomum. Henceforth, the Elettaria cardamomum may have chemo preventive, antidiabetic, anti- microbial and anticancer activity due to the presence of secondary metabolites in the methanolic extract. The results of FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of alcohol, phenols, alkanes, alkyl halides and alkynes. In the present study, leaf sample of this plant was analyzed for the first time. This work will help to identify the active components, which may be used for therapeutic purposes. This study offers a platform of using Elettaria cardamomum leaves as herbal alternative for many diseases.

Drying Effects on Ultrasonic Assisted Phenolic Yields and Retentiveness of Antiradical Properties of Common Culinary Spices Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) and Turmeric (Curcuma Longo): HPTLC and Gc - MS Profile for Their Active Ingredients Assessment

“…The main compound was zingiberene (20%) which was followed by geraniol (7.3%), beta-bisabolene (5.5%), arcurcumene (4%), nerol, betasesquiphellandrene, trans beta-bisabolene (3.5%), limonene (2.3%) (primacy fragment among the monoterpenes), beta-farnesene and cis-Nerolidol (2%) (foremost in the class of oxygenated sesquiterpenes) (Table 11 and Figure 1). The beta-farnesene were identified better (2%) than methanolic leaves extract of Elettaria cardamomum (cardamom) (0.08%), the queen of spices for cooking which belongs to the same zingiberaceae family [53] The results of Aziz et al, [54] were implied that 12, 11 and 10 chemical constituents were fractioned in the GC -MS essential oil of Japan, Bangladeshi and China ginger categorically. For Http://www.granthaalayah.com ©International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH [14] establishing the authenticity and credibility, the active ingredients quantification through GC-MS was vital [55], thus the availability of the volatile geranial and zingerone in fresh ginger rhizome were found to be responsible for the aromatic flavor [56].…”
