Abstract

Murraya koenigii L., a medicinal plant utilized in traditional folk medicine, possesses anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory attributes and also is widely used for the treatment of hemorrhoids, itching, leukoderma, and hematological disorders. From the present work, total 8 fatty acids were identified by Gas Chromatography–Mass PSpectrometry (GC-MS) technique where the level of saturation in the fatty acid derived from the petroleum ether extract of the aerial section of Murraya koenigii L. is significantly higher compared to unsaturated part. The saturated portion includes capric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and arachidic acid while palmitic acid is obtained at higher concentration (35.07%). Conversely the unsaturated portion comprises oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linoleic acid where oleic acid covers a significant concentration (17.31%). In connection to the above findings, the current study indicates that the significant presence of fatty acids such as palmitic acid, oleic acid, α-Linolenic acid may contribute to the recognition of the potential pharmacological significance of this plant in the treatment of illnesses.
