GCMS Profile of Phyto-Compounds in Cymbopogon martinii

Plant-Based Natural Products (PBNPs) have contributed significantly to the development of plant-based drugs. Studies indicate that Cymbopogon martini essential oil (CMEO) extracts exhibit a wide range of biological activities. It is well known that the biological properties in palmarosa essential oil may be due to the presence of compounds like 4-Decent-6-yne, (Z), 2-Ethylimino-4-methyl-pent-3-enenitrile, Dihydrocarvyl acetate, 2-Methylbenzaldehyde, Geranyl butyrate, 1,5,9,9- Tetramethyl-1,4,7-cycloundecatriene. However, its application is limited because of the odor, color, and taste. Owing to widespread applications of Phyto-compounds in CMEO - GCMS analysis was performed and 20 bioactive compounds were detected. Rational of the work: Cymbopogon martini essential oil (CMEO) extract is well known for a wide range of biological activity. To ascertain the functional role of the compounds we must understand the physio-chemical nature of the individual compounds. GCMS is expected to elucidate the composition, abundance, structure and function of components of CMEO.
