Analysis of bioactive compounds for Jasmine flower via Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Abstract

The current work analyses the chemical constituents of Jasmine flower using Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The dried Jasmine flower powder was extracted by methanol via the Microwave-assisted Hydrodistillation (MAHD) process. The GC-MS analysis revealed different peaks that showed the presence of ten compounds. In the current study, we have focused on the main compounds that can be used for biological activity, i.e. 2-Phenylthiolane (57.31%), Cyclohexene, 3-ethenyl- (25.91%), Acetaldehyde (12.70%), N-Methylallylamine (9.99%), Propanamide (6.79%) and Phthalic acid, bis (7-methyloctyl) ester (5.21%). The bio-compounds with methanol extract of Jasmine flower were analyzed by using GC-MS. Functional group analysis was carried out on the volatile oil obtained through MAHD by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface morphologies of untreated dried powdered Jasmine flower (i.e. raw powdered jasmine flower without soaking into methanol solution prior to extraction) and pre-treated powdered Jasmine flower (soaked into methanol solution for 1 hr) were investigated through SEM analysis.

Back to Nature: Combating Candida albicans Biofilm, Phospholipase and Hemolysin Using Plant Essential Oils

“…The differential activity of tested EOs against biofilm, phospholipase and hemolysin may be related to the chemical composition of these EOs. Several studies [ 44 , 45 , 46 ] show that the major compound of cinnamon bark oil is cinnamaldehyde (52–80%), the main constituent in clove oil is eugenol with concentration ranges from 68 to 88% [ 21 , 47 , 48 ], for rosemary oil, 1,8-cineole (26.5–27.2%) and α-pinene (19.2–20%) are predominant [ 21 , 49 ], while jasmine oil has 57.3% of 2-phenylthiolane [ 50 ]. The EO antifungal activity can often be attributed to the major constituent [ 44 ], or from synergistic effects between two or more EO components [ 29 ].…”

Renewed interest in biopolymer composites: incorporation of renewable, plant-sourced fibers

“…Both physical and chemical methods are employed to extract plant oil from seeds, including water extraction and ultrasonication. 55 Conversion from oil to biofuel occurs through methanolysis of triglycerides in the presence of a strong base catalyst, yielding three moles of fatty acid methyl ester biodiesel and one mole of glycerol per mole of plant oil-derived triglyceride, through transesterification as detailed in Scheme 1.…”
