Abstract

Elucidation of the phytochemical composition of plant extract is an essential step in developing novel therapeutic agents from medicinal plants. Mass spectrometry, coupled with chromatographic separations (GC/MS), is increasingly applied to analyze plant extracts as this technique has proved to be a valuable method for the analysis of nonpolar volatile components and alkaloids. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) is being used for the identication of characteristic functional groups present in the plant extract. The absorption spectrum provides information about the structure of the molecules present in the phytoextract. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of phenols, alkane, alkene, carboxylic acid, aromatic compounds, alcohol, and bromo alkane compounds in methanolic leaf extract of Oxalis corniculata and GC/MS analysis provide different peaks determining the presence of twenty three phytochemical compounds.
