Abstract | ||||
The Arecaceae family contains wide classes of phytoconstituents and possesses wide range of pharmacological Activities members of this family are used in folk medicine for treatment of several diseases. Dypsis pembana (H.E.Moore) Beentje& J. Dransf. is a palm tree growing in Tanzania belongs to family Arecaceae. In this study, a detailed macromorphological characters of stem, leaf, inflorescence, flower, fruit in addition to micromorphological characters of the leaves of Dypsis pembana Family Arecaceae cultivated in Egypt were studied for the identification of the plant in both entire and powdered form, in addition to characterization of fatty acids of the leaves by GC-MS analysis. Thorough analysis of the chromatogram of the n-hexane fraction and careful matching examination of the acquired spectra resulted in identification of 12 phytochemicals and revealed the presence of saturated fatty acids mainly as Palmitic acid methyl ester, Lauric acid methyl ester, Methyl tetradecanoate, Methyl stearate , Margaric acid methyl ester, Eicosanoic acid methyl ester and Capric acid methyl ester and polyunsaturated fatty acids mainly as Linolenic acid methyl ester and Linoleic acid methyl ester in addition to other phytochemicals as 2,2-Dimethylocta-3,4-dienal , 3,7,11-Trimethyl-2,4-dodecadiene and 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol. | ||||
