Phytochemical and GCMS analysis on the ethanol extract of Foeniculum Vulgare and Petroselinum crispum leaves

Abstract

The species Petroselinum crispum (Parsley) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) are aromatic herbs belonging to the Apiaceae and Lamiaceae family respectively. The leaves of both plants were consecutively extracted based on separation using ethanol and subjected to phytochemical testing that revealed the presence of biologically active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids and glycosides. The GC- MS evaluation of Foeniculum vulgare revealed two bioactive compounds (1,4 Cyclohexadiene and Metronidazole) and Petroselinum crispum revealed six bioactive compounds (Cineole, I-Limonene, Cyclohexane, Phenol, Neophytadiene and 9,12,15 octadecatrienoic). In the FTIR analysis, the Petroselinum crispum displayed strong bands at 2915.50 cm-1 which corresponds to C–H stretching and medium band at 1476.80 cm–1 which corresponds to N-H stretching vibrations due to the presence of amino acids. The Foeniculum Vulgare displayed strong bands at 2832.61 cm-1 which corresponds to C–H present in alkenes and alkanes respectively, and medium band at 1029.98 cm-1 corresponds to C–O present in esters.
