Abstract
The study was aimed to investigate the chemical composition of Chonemorpha fragrans flowers growing in Karnataka, India. The oil was extracted by cold extraction and steam distillation methods. The chemical composition was determined by GC – MS analysis and 21 compounds were identified. The major compounds were 2, 3-epoxy-2, 3- dihydrosqualene (27.92%), squalene (18.76%) and 1, 2 - benzenediol (20.92%) from fresh flower volatiles. The dried flower volatiles showed predominantly β - sitosterol (43.91%), sitostenone (15.09%), and methyl commate D (8.29%). The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of N-H, O-H, C=C, C-H, C-O, PO3 and halogen stretch functional groups. Comparison between the volatile compounds of fresh and dried flowers from different extraction methods showed differences in the volatile components. GC-MS and FTIR analysis reveals the various phytochemical constituents. This study will be helpful for the identification, quantification and isolation of phytocompounds.
