Abstract

The nutraceuticals in leaves are among the major contributors of their therapeutic relevance to human. This study evaluates the relevance of nutraceuticals obtained from the GC-MS analyses of ethanolic extracts of leaves of Prosopis juliflora. Leaves of Prosopis juliflora harvested from their natural territory and identified at the Plant Science Department of Mohmed Sathak A.J. College of Pharmacy, Sholinganallur, Chennai. Ethanol was used for extracting the crushed plant leaves (5 g) in order. Hot continuous soxhlet extraction was used to complete the extraction. The resulting extracts were kept at -4 °C until their next usage. The current investigation made use of ethanol extract. In the present investigation, the phytocomponents in the extracted substances were identified using the GC-MS method. Results shows 72 phytoconstituents in leaves of Prosopis juliflora, with gamma-Sitosterol, Epilupeol, Benzene methanol, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-, as highest nutraceutical components with percentage concentrations of 12.94, 11.92 and 10.07 respectively. In order to improve human health, broad-spectrum pharmaceutical formulations are being developed that take advantage of the multiple therapeutic potentials of the main nutraceuticals found in Prosopis juliflora.
