Abstract
For thousands of years, medicinal plants have been a significant source of high-quality medications. Chemicals derived from plants are known as phytochemicals. Depending on their function in plant metabolism, these organic compounds are categorized as primary or secondary components. An intriguing technique for determining the concentration of particular active compounds in herbs used in a variety of industries is the GC-MS method, which is used to evaluate the generated extracts. This work used gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to discover bioactive chemicals from ethanol extracts of Sansevieria roxburghiana plant leaves. The mass spectra of the chemicals included in the ethanol extracts were in agreement with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the GCMS analysis was carried out according to normal procedure utilizing Perkin-Elmer gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Hexadecanoic acid, 1-Octadecanol, Hexadecane, Tetradecanal, Benzaldehyde, 2-nitro, 9,12 Octadecadienoic acid, 1-Heptadecanol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl, 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, and 9-Octadecenoic acid of Sansevieria roxburghiana leaves extract (SRLE) were among the compounds identified by GC-MS analysis that were found. These results support the traditional application of Sansevieria roxburghiana leaves for a range of illnesses.
