Abstract
Freshwater bivalves are a promising source of eco-friendly bioactive compounds with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and other industries. Screening for these compounds involves identifying and extracting substances with beneficial biological activity. This study involved a systematic search for the bioactive component from the freshwater Bivalvia Lamellidens corrianus shell extract. Using GC-MS, the current work seeks to isolate the bioactive components. The presence of thirty distinct bioactive chemicals was revealed by peaks in the Lamellidens corrianus GC-MS chromatogram. The findings showed that the percentage of the main bioactive substances, including 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diethyl ester, phthalic acid, isobutyl octadecyl ester, oleic acid, 3-hydroxypropyl ester, 9-octadecenoic acid, n-hexadecenoic acid, n-Nonadecanol-1, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, 9,12-hexadecadienoic acid, methyl, hexadecenoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, dodecanedioic acid, 6-hydroxy-, Hexadecane, cis-10-Nonadecenoic acid, l-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, eicosanoid acid, 2-hydroxyethyl ester, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid and nonadecanoic acid. Therefore, the Bivalvia shell medicinal benefits may be due to the presence of these bioactive chemicals.
