<title><b>GC- MS analysis of phytocomponents in leaves of <i>Calamus Rotang</i></b></title>
<abstract>The aim of the present study is to investigate the hexane and ethanolic leaf extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan Calamus rotang lessThan /i greaterThan  for their phytochemical compounds using Gas chromatography- Mass spectroscopy. Phytochemical screening in leaves of  lessThan i greaterThan Calamus rotang lessThan /i greaterThan  revealed the presence of some bioactive compounds. So GC-MS analysis was performed on a GC-MS equipment GC JEOL. GC-MS analysis in hexane leaf extract showed the presence of hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, octadecanoic acid methyl ester, phytol, eicosanoic acid methyl ester and GC-MS analysis in ethanolic leaf extract showed the presence of (E)-9-Octadecenoic acid ethyl ester, Octadecanoic acid ethyl ester, Pentadecanoic acid 13- methyl methyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester, 16- Octadecenoic acid methyl ester, Heptadecanoic acid 16-methyl-methyl ester. The presence of various bioactive components confirms the application of hexane and ethanolic leaf extracts in various diseases. However, isolation of individual phytocomponents may proceed to find a lead for herbal therapy.</abstract>
