Chemical examination of Averrhoa bilimbi L. Fruit
- 1, ,
The chemical constituents of the petroleum ether extract of the fruits of Averrhoa bilimbi L. were identified through GC-MS. Thirty nine compounds were identified. Among them, seven compounds viz., Oleic acid (42.8%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (39.71%), n-Hexane, 3-methyl- (3.42%), Nonanal (2.2%), Cyclohexane (1.87%), Tetradecanoic acid (1.7%) and 4-Trifluoroacetoxytridecane (1.09%) showed high peaks in the chromatogram.
