Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the phytoconstituents of methanolic extracts of a conifer Pinus wallichiana using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy
(GC-MS), which is famous for its timber quality, resins and oils.
Methods: The present investigation was carried out to determine the possible chemical constituents present in the methanolic extracts in the needles
of P. wallichiana.
Results: The result of the GC-MS confirmed the presence of 38 compounds. Momeinositol (43.27%), 9, 12-octadecanoic acid, 2 (12.52%) pentadecanoic
acid (4.12%) and dibutyl phthalate (3.34%) were the major compound found through the GC-MS analysis.
Conclusion: The presence of various compounds in the methanolic extract of P. wallichiana confirms its relevance not only for pharmaceutical
purpose but for various industrial purposes too.
Keywords: Pinus wallichiana, Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy of plant extract, Gas
chromatography-mass spectroscopy of conifer, Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy profiling.
