The qualitative phytochemical screening of the ethanolic seed extract of Cola lepidota revealed the presence of important phytochemicals. The GCMS fatty acid chromatogram showed that the extract contained fourteen fatty acid compounds and out of the fourteen compounds, five were more prominent with the peaks corresponding to the retention time range of 18.008 – 21.020. The peak at 19.779 retention time is the largest and has a peak area of 43.23%. This largest peak is identified as linoleic acid methyl ester while the second largest peak at 19.336 retention time with peak area 14.68% is due to the presence of 1, 5-cyclododecadiene. The third largest peak at 21.020 retention time with the peak area of 11.85% is Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate while the fourth largest peak at 20.015 retention time with the peak area 8.98% represents octadecanoic acid methyl ester. The fifth largest peak at the retention time of 18.008 and peak area of 7.03% represents methylhexadecanoic acid. The importance of these phytochemicals is discussed.
