Abstract
Mesua ferrea Linn., commonly called Nagakesara or Ceylon iron wood belongs to the family Calophyllaceae. The present study deals with the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy analysis of Mesua ferrea, which have different medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to identify the phytocomponents present in the ethylacetate extract of Mesua ferrea by using Shimadzu GC-MS Model number: QP2010S equipped with Column - ELITE-5MS (30 meter length, 0.25 mm ID, and 0.25 µm thicknesses). Fourteen compounds were identified and which includes (-)-.alpha.-copaene, .alpha.-Bergamotene, (+)-valencene, beta-eudesmene, .alpha.-selinene, .beta.-Bisabolene, 2, 4-ditert-butylphenol, delta.-cadinene, neophytadiene, Phytol, .beta.-Resorcylic acid, 5-(3, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadienyl)-6-pentyl-, ethyl ester, (E)-, Squalene, nonadecane, tricosane.
