EVALUATION OF PHYTO-COMPOUNDS FROM Dictyota dichotoma EXTRACT USING GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND MASS SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUE

Abstract

The phytocomponents of Dictyota dichotoma were evaluated using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (Perkin-Elmer). The compounds are present within the Dictyota dichotoma ethanoic extract was compared with the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) library. The GC-MS analysis shown that thirty compounds via Nonadecane, Phenol, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl), n-Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid tri-methylsilyl ester, Eicosane, cis-Vaccenic acid, cis-13,16-Docasadienoic acid, Octadecanoic acid, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid in the ethanolic extract of Dictyota dichotoma. These findings support the traditional use of Dictyota dichotoma for various disorders.
