GC-MS Analysis of Methanol Extracts of Five Toxic Plant Seed For Detection of Bioactive Compounds

Abstract

The present work was carried out to explore the qualitative analysis of bioactive phyto-constituents present

in methanolic extracts of five toxic plant seeds by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The

analysis of extracts revealed the presence of the different biologically active compounds including alkaloids,

glycosides, flflavonoids, phenols, fatty acid, ester, epoxide, steroids, and protein etc. Forensic toxicological

chemistry deals with the chemistry and analysis of various types of poisons including plants. Diagnosing

plant poisoning especially their seeds can be difficult and must be quickly done. In conclusion, the recovery

of various toxic and therapeutically constituents could be helpful for forensic toxicologist.
