Phytochemical Screening of Plant Extracts and GC-MS Profiling of Methanolic Extracts of Leaves and Flower of Madhuca longifolia

India is the native home of Madhuca longifolia trees, which are mainly found in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Rajasthan, which is also known locally as "Mahua.". It is an extremely valuable herbal remedy. The indigenous people use almost every part of the plant to treat a variety of illnesses. The phytochemical analysis of the leaves and flowers of M. longifolia is the subject of very few scientific publications. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the presence of pharmacologically bioactive constituents in M. longifolia flowers and leaves, the study's preliminary phytochemical screening of various leaf and flower extracts revealed the presence of various phytochemical compounds, including terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, quinones, carbohydrates, tannins, and alkaloids. The plant M. longifolia has 80 components identified from the methanol extract of the leaves and 102 components identified from the methanol extract of the flowers, according to qualitative and quantitative analysis of various biologically active compounds from the methanolic extract using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. which are a very detailed and first-time study. Any of the pharmacological characteristics of M. longifolia could be attributed to the compounds that this study found as a natural source of antioxidants, antibacterial.
