Abstract

Aim: The current study was to assess the phytochemical compounds in Durio zibethinus seeds that can be used for medicinal and industrial purposes. Methodology: The n-hexane extract of the seeds was analyzed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. Results: The Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of n-hexane extract from D. zibethinus seeds revealed the presence of twelve compounds. The chemical constituents identified are beta-Guaiene (0.85 %), Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (3.82 %), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester (1.26 %), Phytol (1.36 %), Methyl stearate (2.08 %), Lupeol (1.97 %), n-Tetracosanol-1 (17.34 %), Squalene (32.75 %), Triacontanediol (34.47 %), 1-Heptacosanol (1.89 %), Eicosane (0.88 %) and Hexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraen-1-ol, 3,7,11,16-tetramethyl- (29.34 %). Conclusion: The presence of these chemical constituents in the seed extract has authenticated the scientific evidences for its physiological properties relating to human health.
