Identification of volatile compounds in essential oil and extracts of Ocimum micranthum Willd leaves using GC/MS
Identification of volatile compounds in essential oil and extracts of Ocimum micranthum Willd leaves using GC/MS
- International Journal of Applied Research in Natural Products, 9(1), p.31-40, 2016 .
In this study, the volatile compounds present in the essential oil as well as aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Ocimum micranthum Willd leaves were determined using gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The presence of eugenol and methyleugenol in the three fractions was found, indicating that both compounds have major presence in plant leaves. The application of solid-phase extraction with a C18 SPE cartridge and subsequent elution with isooctane allowed us to analyze the aqueous extract of Ocimum micrantum Willd leaves by GC/MS and to extract selectively eugenol and methyleugenol.
