Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to
characterize its bioactive compounds present in methanol extract of C.nucifera
fresh and dried sprouts using Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrum (GC-MS). The
results of the GC-MS analysis provide different peaks determining the presence
of 58 and 41 bioactive compounds in the methanolic extract of dried and fresh C.nucifera
sprouts respectively. The major phytocompounds
2,3-Bis[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]butane-1,4-diol tetramethyl ether
(24.14%) and niranthin (14.44%) in dried sprout extract and
Lup-20(29)-en-3-ol,acetate,(3β)- (31.52%) and α-Amyrin (17.7%) in fresh sprout
extract and minor compounds were also present in both the dried and fresh C.nucifera
sprout extracts. In FT-IR analysis of dried C.nucifera sprout
extracts revealed that the presence of various groups such as alcohols,
phenols,, carboxylic acids, amides, esters, aldehydes, ketones, alkanes and
ethers. From the results, it could be confirmed that fresh and dried C.nucifera
sprouts contains various bioactive compounds have various biological
activities.
