Study of the Chemical Composition, Amino Acid, Flavonoids and Vitamin C of Moringaoliefera Leaves Extract Grown in AL-Ramadi- Iraq

Abstract

This study was conducted to reveal the chemical components, amino acids, flavonoids and vitamin C of
the aqueous leaves extract of Moringaoliefera plant grown in AL-Ramadi city in Iraq, because these herbal
plants have medicinal and nutritional importance.material and method.The leaves were collected from
MoringaOleifera tree grown in the home garden, aqueous extract was prepared and GC-MS analysis, amino
acid diagnostics, flavonoids diagnosis and vitamin C analysis were performed. Results sixteen chemical
constituents were identified in the leaf aqueous extract; The most important of these compounds Decanoic
acid(1.14%),17- Octadecynoic acid (29.24%), (7.51%). 12 types of essential and non-essential amino
acids were diagnosed.Extraction of phenolic compound showed presence of quercetine(245.7 ppm) and
kaemferal(299.6 ppm). Vitamin C content in fresh samples of leaves of M. olifera were determined by the
HPLC method was (250.2 ppm).
