Phytochemical screening of oil of Lactuca sativa seeds and determination of important bioactive and physicochemical aspects.
Keywords:
Lactuca sativa, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), antioxidant activity.Abstract
The isolation and chemical analysis of Lactuca sativa L (L. sativa) seeds oil and its free radical scavenging activity was carried out. Soxhlet extraction method was used to extract the oil. The free radical scavenging activity (DPPH) method was used to identify the antioxidant activity of the extract. Almost 33 different chemical compounds were identified from spectra by GC-MS including α-isoamylene, (z) 2-Pentene, (E) 2- pentene, f-isoamylene, Isoamyl methyl ketone, Methyl 2-methyl butyl ketone, 1-methyl-1- ethylcyclopentene, n-amyl methyl ketone, 5-Octandione, Isopropyl pentyl ketone, 2-amyl furan, Pentanoic acid, Hexanoic acid, 1-ethyl-1-methyl-cyclopentane, (E)-2-Octenal, Some Hexanoic acid ester, Octyl ester acid, Undecane, Trans-3-Nonen-2-one, Dodecane, Octyl alcohol ester, ethyl hexyl ester, Tri-decanol, C11H20O2, 2,4, Decadienal, C10H18O, 3-Decanone, 4-undecanone, 1-Tetradecanol, Tetradecane, Hexadecane, Octadecane, Nonadecane, Palmitic Acid. Chemical components of the essential oils from locally grown lettuce have been identified in the following class or group of chemical compounds: monoterpene, sesquiterpene volatile organic compounds, flavonol glycosides, and their oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds. Thus, essential oils and raw leaves are effective candidates for use as antifungal or antimicrobial agents in the formulation of new drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases.
