Abstract
Long carboxylic acids, including tetradecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, and hexadecanoic acid, amongst others, make up the majority of the chemicals found in Areca catechu L.nut. This nut was extracted using chloroform, methanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and toluene. Tetradecanoic acid was found to be the predominant component in all of these solvents. The chloroform extract of Areca catechu L.nut has a significant amount of methyl tetradecanoate as the predominant component. In the case of extracts made from methanol and toluene, the molecule 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z) is also present and serves as the primary constituent. Because it contains long chains of carboxylic acids, Areca catechu L. nut has the potential to be used in the medical system as an antialkaline agent. These findings bring to light the importance of its potential use. Because it contains such a diverse range of phytochemicals, the use of the Areca catechu L. nut in the traditional medical system for the treatment of alkaline injuries may be justifiable.
