Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to find out the Phytochemical constituents of the plant salvinia molesta in five different solvents. Phytochemical tests disclosed the presence of Tannins, Saponins, Flavanoids, Carbohydrate, Sterols, Alkaloids, Coumarin, Anthocyanin, Phenol, Cardiac glycosides, Proteins, Quinones, Amino acid, Fats and oil. The flavanoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids and saponins are prime pharmaceutical parameters that are accountable for ethnomedicinal values were present in different proportions. The GC-MS analysis of salvinia molesta leaves disclosed the presence of 103 Phytochemical compounds. The first molecular compound identified with minimum R.T. was 2,4-Dihydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furan-3-one with 9.579 min and last molecular compound identified with maximum R.T. was Vitamin E with 51.1 min.
