Phytochemical analysis of Moringa Oleifera leaves extracts by GC-MS and free radical scavenging potency for industrial applications.

Natural extracts have been of very high interest since ancient time due to their enormous medicinal use and researcher's attention have further gone up recently to explore their phytochemical compositions, properties, potential applications in the areas such as, cosmetics, foods etc. In this present study phytochemical analysis have been done on the aqueous and methanolic Moringa leaves extracts using Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GCMS) and their free radical scavenging potency (FRSP) studied using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical for further applications. GCMS analysis revealed an extraction of range of phytochemicals in aqueous and methanolic extracts.
