Abstract:

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), such as those from Anacardiaceae family and their metabolites, namely Essential Oils (EOs) are of great pharmaceutical interest and are also a source of biologically relevant compounds having broad spectrum anti-microbial activity as well as extremely high degree of druggability. These EOs are obtained through the hydro-distillation of different parts of MAPs. Therefore, the aim of this work is to extract the essential oil from flowers of wild Mangifera indica L. plant through hydro-distillation method using Clevenger’s apparatus and to analyze the various constituents present in that Wild mango flower essential oil (WMFEO) by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).


Keywords: MAPs, Essential Oils, Hydro-Distillation, WMFEO, GC-MS
