Comprehensive GC-MS Analysis of Bioactive Compounds in Litsea ghatica Stem Powder

Author(s): Dipali Samir Warange

Abstract:

The chemical composition of Litsea ghatica stem powder was investigated using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). This analysis aimed to identify the major and minor phytochemicals present in the stem tissues. A total of 23 major compounds were detected across retention times ranging from 1.4 to 33.8 minutes. Constituents included sulfoxides, esters, silicones, aromatic compounds, fatty acid derivatives, and numerous trimethylsilyl (TMS)–based phytochemicals. Major peaks occurred at retention times corresponding to methyl 2-hydroxyethyl sulfoxide and ethanol. The GC–MS profile provides a comprehensive chemical fingerprint that can support future pharmacognostic and phytopharmaceutical studies on Litsea ghatica.
