ISSN: 2249-0353 Original Article IDENTIFICATION OF BIOACTIVE COMPONENTS AND ITS BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF ASPARAGUS RACEMOSUS RHIZOMES THROUGH THE GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MASS SPECTROMETRY
2013
In this study, the bioactive components of Asparagus racemosus rhizomes have been evaluated using GC/MS. The chemical compositions of the ethanol extract of Asparagus racemosus rhizomes were investigated using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis of ethanol extract of Asparagus racemosus rhizomes revealed the existence of Squalene (30.52), n-Hexadecanoic acid (13.75) and Didodecylphthalate (23.67). The results of this study offer a platform of using Asparagus racemosus rhizomes as herbal alternative for various diseases.
