Spectrophotometric Analyses of Fatty Acids Extracts of Alstonia boonei De Wild Leaves
Abstract
The study aimed at profiling the fatty acids in methylated n-hexane extract of Alstonia boonei leaf using Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the oil extracted from the leaves revealed the fatty acids contents and presented a w-6: w-3 PUFA ratio of 2.77. Thus, these study revealed the various bioactive compounds in Alstonia boonei leaf n-hexane and inferred its utilization to effect pharmaceutically relevance.
Keywords: Alstonia boonei leaf; fatty acids; gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS),
