Characterization by GC-MS of Chemical Components of Pistils with Pollen from Talipariti Elatum Sw. (Fryxell) Malvaceae

Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique widely applied to the analysis of mixtures of organic compounds. Ethanolic extract of pistils with pollen from the flowers of Talipariti elatum Sw. was analyzed by GC-MS using a GCMS-QP2010 Ultra Shimadzu and the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of 280 compounds and from them, 134 chemical components were characterized and reported for the first time from this part of the plant Talipariti elatum. Our results demonstrate the developed method could be employed as a rapid and versatile analytical technique for identification of chemical constituents and quality control of Talipariti elatum samples.
