Phytochemical Screening GC-MS and FT-IR Analysis of Sugarcane Juice
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma Research and Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The present research reveals the phytochemical examination, GC-MS analysis and FTIR Spectroscopic Analysis in sugarcane juice. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloid, glycosides, phenols, saponins, tannins and carbohydrates. Totally 14 compounds were identified and the chromatograph showed peaks with individual compounds. Major compounds identified were 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (39.56%) and Cyclopropyl 4- methoxyphenyl ketone (19.58%) with retention time 12.99 and 8.30 min respectively. Minor compounds such as Isopropyl linoleate (0.88%) and Pentanal, 5-(methylenecyclopropyl) (2.99%) with retention time 30.80 and 10.99 min respectively were identified. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of N-H, O-H, C=C, C-H, C-O and CH3 functional groups. The result of this study gave an excellent drink of sugarcane juice as alternative for various diseases and it can be used as functional and pharmaceutical food.
