GC-MS analysis of Moringa oliefera root and stem branch extracts grown in Ramadi City, Iraq

In the present study, phytochemical analyses were performed on the methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Moringa oliefera root and branches of the stem using Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This plant has therapeutic properties in its different parts. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of many phytochemicals in root methanolic extracts involving ۱۴ active compounds. It was found that a high percent area is ۲-furancarboxylaldehyde (۵۰.۰۷%). Ethyl aldehyde had the lowest area (۰.۴۹%). In contrast, ethanolic extract of root contained ۱۹ active compounds as GC-MS isolated and characterized. The technique confirmed that ۶-octadecenoic acid was the highest compound (۵۹.۴۳%), while N-sulfinyl butylamine has rarely been detected in plant extracts (۰.۱۲%). Many other phytochemicals were also detected. Similarly, methanol extract for stem branches included three active compounds. A ۵-hydroxymethylfufural was the most abundant (۶۳.۰۶%), while ۲-acetyl-۲H-tetrazole possessed the lowest area (۹.۷۰%). Ethanol extract contained six isolated active compounds. Few major compounds were found with a high percent peak area in branches by ethanol extract including ۵-hydroxymethylfurfural (۵۵.۸۱%), whereas, the lowest one was hydrazinecarboxaldehyde (۰.۴۹%).
