Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry Analysis Report about Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbitaceae) Flowers

This Study was done to investigate the phytochemical and antimicrobial activities of pumpkin flowers extracts (ethanolic, chloroform and ether extract –by using GC-MS methods to degrade the active components in the ethanol extracted flowers. Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth was inhibited only by chloroform fraction; ether fraction has activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aereus. Chloroform has no activity against Staphylococcus aereus. Nine constituents were degraded by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) analysis. Their structure and formulae were pertaining to the GC-MS analysis of pumpkin flowers were given in table and Figure 2.
