Objective: Viola odorata has a characteristic as antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, antiasthmatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, and antipyretic agents. The aim of this study was detected about bioactive compounds in the methanolic extract of V. odorata. Methods: The methanolic extract was analyzed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the identification of different compounds.Results: The current study investigated about phytochemicals in flowers of V. odorata. GC-MS analysis of the methanol extract of flowers showed 84 compounds. The highest concentration was for components which include ethanol, 2-(9,12-octadecadienyl oxy) -, (Z,Z)-; pentadecanoic acid; 1-pentacosanol; 1-pentacosanol; 2-furan carboxaldehyde, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-; 1,2 benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester; and docosane, 11-butyl- and gamma-sitosterol. The peak area and retention time for each components, respectively, were (15.709, 25.51%), (14.015, 19.51%), (29.914, 4.69%), (27.292, 3.95%), (5.707, 4.05%), (20.357, 3.91%), (18.289, 2.48%), and (30.431, 2.37%). While the others components ranged the peak area from 2.03% to 0.05%.Conclusions: These results indicate that the flowers of V. odorata contain the numerous components which have medical importance and this study was one of the first studies to detect phytochemicals in V. odorata.

Toxic normal hydrocarbon (NH), nonadecane in the methanolic extract of the whole of cabbage samples collected from different districts of Bangladesh was analyzed by GC-MS. It was observed that NH deposition on the samples takes place in different morphological parts of the biological materials. The NH, nonadecane, was found in the cabbage samples collected from the highway road side by the extraction of methanol. The identification and quantification of the title compounds have not been reported previously in the cabbage sample.   Keywords: Cabbage; brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba; quantification; normal hydrocarbon, nonadecane, GC-MS

ABSTRACTObjective: The leaves of Cassia angustifolia Vahl. are employed for the treatment of several human diseases. Therefore, the present study wasundertaken to determine the phytocomponents present in the methanolic extract of the leaves by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)Methods: The collected leaf samples were dried and extracted in methanol. Screening of the extract was done by GC-MS which is an importanttechnique for the separation and identification of different phytochemicals.Results: The methanolic extract of the leaves of C. angustifolia revealed the presence of 45 different phytochemicals. The prevailing compounds were1 butanol, 3 methyl acetate (area % 7.47), 6, 6-dideutero-nonen-1-Ol-3 (area % 10.45), pentadecanoic acid (area % 9.22), and squalene (area %12.30). Vitamin E (area % 3.85) has also been found in the leaf extract. Some of the compounds possess biological activities.Conclusions: It can be concluded from the present study that some of the identified phytochemicals could be responsible for the medicinal value orbiological activity of the plant leaves.Keywords: Senna, Leaf extract, Methanol, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Phytochemicals, Vitamin E.
