Abstract
Medicinal plants are significant sources of several medicines and produce a broad variety of bioactive compounds. Herbal plant extracts are among the main medicinal treatments and are highly advantageous. Chromatographic techniques are a group of analytical procedures that divide a mixtureâs constituent parts between a stationary and a mobile phase in order to separate, identify, and measure them. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, or GC-MS, is a potent analytical method that blends the detection and identification powers of mass spectrometry (MS) with the separation capabilities of gas chromatography (GC). It is employed to detect and measure volatile and semi-volatile substances in a range of specimens. The Nephelium lappaceum kernel aqueous extracts generated peaks in the GC-MS chromatogram, indicating the presence of thirty different bioactive compounds. The prevailing compounds are Diethyl Phthalate, 1,2Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl ethyl ester, Nonadecane, Octasiloxane, 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7 ,7, 9, 9,11,11, 13, 13, 15-hexadecamethyl, 9 - Octadecenoic acid, n-Nonadecanol-1, Valproic acid, Octadecanoic acid, n-Heptadecanol-1, Hexadecane, Hexadecane, 1-iodo and 1H-Purin-6-amine, [(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]. Future in-depth research may benefit greatly from the insightful information this study may provide.
