ABSTRACT

This research was designed to determine the phytochemical components and characteristics of the hexane fraction of Santalum album Linn. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of total number of 4 compounds from the hexane fraction of Santalum album Linn. Leaves. This study showed that Santalum album Linn. Leaves are a potential source of natural bioactive compounds for biological and pharmacological applications and revealed the presence of bioactive compounds that differ from each territory. The hexane fraction was analyzed using GC–MS, which showed the presence of many biologically important volatile constituents. The compounds were identified by comparing their retention time with that of literature and by interpretation of mass spectra. The quantitative estimation of each peak was made by estimating area of the peak by computer attached to GC-MS instrument.

Keywords: Santalum album linn., fraction and Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
