GC-MS ANALYSIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY (VITRO TEST) OF (Balanites aegyptiaca) ESSENTIAL OIL
Keyword(s):
The aim of the present study was to extract oil from Heglig seeds (Balanites aegyptiaca) to indicate phytochemical properties, GC/MS analysis and anti- biological activity (Vitro test). The kernel seeds were ground, and 250 g were transferred into a soxhelt unit and extracted by using normal hexane. The chemical extraction followed by GC-MS analysis result in 25 compounds, the compound which had higher percentage are: 9-Octadecanoic acid (Z)-methyl ester 29.46%, 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-, methyl ester 29.18%, Methyl stearate 18.71%, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester 16.70%. and Eicosanoic acid, methyl ester 1.81%.
