Trachyspermum Ammi

The objectives of this research were to determine the chemical composition of the extract of Trachyspermum ammi L. seeds by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS). The GC-MS is a matchless method for the study and measuring quantity of organic volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Gas chromatography is employed to separates mixtures into individual components employing a temperature-controlled capillary column. Mass spectrometry is utilized to recognize a variety of components from their mass spectra. In the present study, volatile/ semi-volatile compounds present in Ajwain seed extract were analyzed. Ajwain seed extract is extracted by soxhlet extraction method and then analyzed by GC-MS. Total of nine compounds were found and quantified in this study. The major bioactive compounds in Ajwain seed extract are 3,5-dimethylanisole (83.19%), 6-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (Z)-, 7-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (7.42%), and 2-cyclohexyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, 4-oxime (3.01%).

AbstractThe methanolic extract of sandalwood (SwME) was prepared by soxhlet apparatus and the antibacterial assay was performed. Further, the metabolite profiling of SwME and lysates of E. coli and E. coli grown in the presence of SwME was generated. SwME showed maximum inhibition against E. coli (MTCC 443) i.e. 82.71%, and minimal against B. subtilis (MTCC 736) i.e. 26.82%. The metabolome profiles of E. coli and SwME were generated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. Comparative studies were done to understand to what extent metabolite modifications differ between SwME, E. coli lysate and the E. coli strain grown in presence of extract. Result revealed 23 peaks with major compounds present in E. coli were 9-Octadecenoic Acid (Z)-, Methyl Ester (26.85%), Hexadecanoic Acid, methyl ester (20.5%) and Hexadecanoic acid, trimethylsilyl ester (15.79%). When E. coli was grown in the presence of SwME, GC-MS analysis showed 25 peaks with major compounds such as 9-Octadecenoic Acid, Methyl Ester (21.97%), Hexadecanoic Acid, Methyl Ester (17.03%), and Hexadecanoic Acid, Trimethylsilyl Ester (14.96%). Correlating the metabolic profiles with the changes occurring is essential to progression their comprehension and in the development of new approaches to identify the metabolomics regulation in E. coli in response to SwME.

Seasonal flowers contribute in the attraction and fragrances of volatile compounds. These flowers volatiles also contribute in the protection of plants from different diseases. The current study was aimed to analyze and identify the flowers volatile from seasonal flowers grown in Hazara. For this purpose a comparative study of volatile compounds from aqueous fractions of nine different seasonal flowers in terms of qualitative and quantitative composition was done by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The mass spectrum of unknown compounds was identified by comparing the mass spectrum of known compounds using NIST 5 library search program and available standards library. Total 67 compounds were identified belongs to different classes of organic compounds i.e esters, fatty acyls, terpenoid, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, aldehydes, ketones and hydrocarbons. 10 compounds were identified in Veronica chamaedrys, 12 in Ligustrum sinense, 11 in Ixora coccinea, 11 in Gazania rigens, 11 in Ligustrum lucidum, 14 in Amaryllis belladonna, 8 in Plantago lanceolata, 15 in Rosa indica and 26 in Callistemon viminalis. The main compounds in nine different seasonal flowers were mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, n-hexadecanoic acid, phytol, 6-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (Z)-, hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, beta cubebene, caryophyllen, phenylethyl alcohol, 4H-pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-, benzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-, bicyclo[2.2,1]heptane-1 carboxylic acid, 7,7,dimethyl-2-oxo-, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, γ.-sitosterol, methyl gallate, pyrogallol, α-linolenic acid, 11-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, lupeol, 2-cyclopenten-1-one, 2-hydroxy-, 1,2-benzenediol, β.-sitosterol, octadecanoic acid, oleic acid, 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 1-heptacosanol, spirost-8-en-11-one, 3-hydroxy-, (3,14,20,22 β.,5. α, 25R)-, 2-cyclopenten-1-one, 2-hydroxy-, eucalyptol, spiro[4,5]decan-7-one,1,8-dimethyl-8,9-epoxy-4-isopropyl.. Some compounds were detected in all nine flowers such as mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. The concentration of this compound was more in Veronica chamaedrys (28.851%) and on the other hand having fewer amounts in flower Ixora coccinea (0.218%) and some compounds identified only in one flower such as caryophyllene. Most of the compounds were present in all selected flower while there were also some unique compounds which were present in one flower while absent in other. It shows that specific properties of flower associated with these unique compounds. Similarly, identified compounds suggested their role in the field of medicines and pharmaceutical sciences which need further investigations.

Chemical compounds were extracted with petroleum ether from the cuticular abdominal glands of grasshopper (Zonocerus variegatus L.) and eleven compounds were characterised using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) technique in combination with Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The compounds analysed were 2,7-dimethyloctane (3.21%), decane (5.33%), undecane (3.81%), tridecanoic acid methyl ester (4.76%), hexadecanoic acid (9.37%), 11-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (23.18%), pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl-methyl ester (4.43%), (Z)-13-docosenoic acid (10.71%), dodecyl pentafluoropropionate (9.52%), 2-dodecyl-1,3-propanediol (6.38%), and 1,12-tridecadiene (19.30%). FT-IR analysis of the extract showed peaks at 1270.17 (C–O and C–F), 1641.48 (C=C), 2937.68 (C–H), and 3430.51 (O–H) cm−1 indicating the presence of ether, alkene, alkane, alcohol, carboxylic acid, and fluoric compounds. These compounds consisted of 32.37% ester, 31.65% hydrocarbons, 20.08% fatty acid, 9.52% halogenated ester, and 6.38% alcohol. The highest component was 11-octadecenoic acid methyl ester followed by 1,12-tridecadiene. Since behavioural bioassays were not carried out, the consideration of these compounds to be pheromone semiochemicals remains a hypothesis.
