Background: is a common roadside weed seen in many parts of India. The aim of the present study is to determine and isolate the bioactive compounds, by GC-MS analysis, which successively will then serve to develop "Phytotherapy" for various ailments among human beings using the plant.
Materials And Methods: The plant is sundried and powdered, and the powder is subjected to soxhlet extraction with ethanol as solvent. The crude extract obtained is subjected to gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Mass spectra were obtained over the scan range of m/z 40-600. The compounds were identified by comparison of their mass spectra with those of the NIST 05 L mass spectral library.
Results: More than 20 biologically active components were identified using GC-MS analysis. Anti-microbial effects are seen due to heneicosane, methyloctosane, tetracosane, and beta sitosterol. The Anti-inflammatory effect is attributed to n-Hexadeconoic acid, hexacosane, alpha-amyrin, and beta-amyrin. Extracts possess antioxidant effects due to the presence of vitamin E and squalene.
Conclusion: The crude ethanolic extract of possess analgesic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antilipidemic effects. This herb can serve as a potential source of medicine.

Phthalates (PAEs), which are pollutants that most easily migrate from plastic packages to edible oils, have received increasing attention. In this work, a sample preconditioning method was proposed and explored, involving a single-step extraction using a methanol and ethyl hexanoate mixed solvent, followed by clean-up with a mixed absorbent of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) and -propyl ethylenediamine (PSA), for the determination of 18 PAEs in oil samples through GC-MS/MS analysis. The triazine ring structure and conjugated aromatic heterocyclic accumulation structure of g-CN and the amino-rich structure of PSA can provide hydrogen bonds, conjugated π-π interactions, and hydrophobic effects for the removal of interferences such as organic acids, aliphatic acids, and pigments.

The intricate relationship between the chemical composition and sensory attributes of various pineapple ( var. ) cultivars was investigated using multivariate statistical analysis. Our findings revealed that high hedonic ratings for pineapples are partially attributed to their distinct flavor profiles such as tropical fruit, sweetness, coconut, and floral aroma and flavor and textural qualities like juiciness and fibrousness.

Introduction: Microbiomes of cigar tobacco leaves play a pivotal role during the fermentation, and fermentation temperature is a key factor in shaping the structure and function of the microbial community. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different temperatures (30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C) on the microbiomes of cigar tobacco leaves, providing insights into the complex interactions among temperature, microbes, and physicochemical metabolites.
Methods: Firstly, the physicochemical metabolites of cigar tobacco leaves under various fermentation temperatures were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Background: Cupressus sempervirens is one of the conifer plants, that is used as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, anthelminthic, and many other health purposes. Rhipicephalus annulatus is one of the hard tick genera affecting the production and health of domestic animals in Egypt. Extensive use of chemical acaricides in the management of ticks caused acaricide resistance, environmental contamination, residues in meat and milk, and harmful effects on non-target species.
