Abstract

 
 
 Plants show various medicinal properties due to presence of phytoconstituents. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy is a technique which is used to identify compounds in a plant extract on the basis of retention time and their mass. In the current investigation, petroleum ether extracts of seed of Psoralea corylifolia (family Leguminosae) was subjected for GC- MS analysis. Total 51 compounds were identified out of which many are significant as having antioxidant potential such as ficusin, vitamin E, stigmasterol, gamma sitosterol etc. The extract was also subjected for their free radical scavenging potential by using DPPH assay. Results revealed the presence of good antioxidant activity of the petroleum extract.
