GC/MSanalysis and characterization of 2‐Hexadecen‐1‐ol and beta sitosterol fromSchimpera arabicaextract for its bioactive potential as antioxidant and antimicrobial

Abstract: Schimpera arabica is naturally present and used in food preparation in most Arabian nations. The characterization of S. arabica would provide an insight into its medicinal use as home remedial for bacterial infection and as antioxidant. Significant and comparable antimicrobial activity was demonstrated by both 2-Hexadecen-1-ol and beta sitosterol fractions. The results suggest that S. arabica contain a good amount of natural antioxidants of medicinal importance. However, further investigations are needed to ch… Show more

“…Seeds were collected from Pithecellobium dulce tree (Hail region, Saudi Arabia) and washed with sterile distilled water. Around 400 grams of P. dulce seed was ground to a coarse powder using an electrical grinding mill and extracted by cold maceration in 80% methanol (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) at room temperature [ 19 ]. It was then left standing for 3-4 days with an occasional shaking to produce the crude extract.…”
