PHYTOCHEMICAL AND GC-MS STUDIES OF CUCUMIS MELO L SUBSP. AGRESTIS (NAUDIN) PANGALO FRUITS

View through CrossRef
The objective of present study was to perform preliminary phytochemical screening, quantitative estimation of phytoconstituents, and gas chromatography mass spectroscopy studies of Cucumis melo L subsp. Agrestis (Naudin) Pangalo fruit. The petroleum ether, chloroform, alcohol and aqueous extracts of the dried fruits of Cucumis melo L subsp. Agrestis (Naudin) Pangalo were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening, preliminary phytochemical screening of fruit extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, sterols, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, proteins and amino acids Quantitative estimation of alkaloids, carbohydrate, fat contents, saponin, total phenolics content and total flavonoids content in the fruit was done. Further, the hydroalcoholic extract was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) for identification of chemical constituents. GC-MS analysis of hydroalcoholic extract of Cucumis melo L subsp. Agrestis (Naudin) Pangalo fruits revealed the presence of 39 compounds. The results of this study indicates that extracts of Cucumis melo L subsp. Agrestis (Naudin) Pangalo fruits contains various phytoconstituents responsible for its medicinal properties
