Assessment of Mineral and Essential Oil Composition of Anonna Muricata Leaves
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The qualitative phytochemical, mineral and components of essential oil of the leaves of A. muricata were analysed. The qualitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Carbohydrate, Tannins, Steroids, Terpenoids, Cardiac glycoside, Saponin, Carboxylic acid, Aldehyde/ketone and Phenols. The mineral analysis using Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) showed the presence of Magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, Phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium and iron. The GCMS analysis of the essential oil revealed thirteen different compound; Heptadecane, Methyl tetradecanoate, Octadecane, Nonadecane, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, Eicosane, Methyl 10-trans,12-cisoctadecadienoate, 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z,Z), Phytol, Methyl stearate, Octadecane,2,6,10,14-tetra methyl, Tricosane and Phthalic acid, di(oct-3-yl) ester.
