GC-MS studies on bioactive food plant-Linum usitatissimum L. grown through recovery drip system

The aim of the current study is to monitor the phytochemical constituents in the Linum usitatissimum by GC MS analysis.The leaf, stem, root of hydroponically grown Flax Linum usitatissimum were extracted with methanol at room temperature for 8 h. Further subjected for evaluation using GC-MS.The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of 20 compounds in leaf methanolic extract and the chromato-gram showed peaks with individual compounds. The major constituents identified in the leaf methanolic of extract were Silane, Trimethyl-2-Propyne-, Cyano Methyl-Triiron Disulfide Octacarbonyl, Guanidino-L-proline, Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 2(3H)-Furanone, 5-methyl-, Ethane, 1-chloro-1-fluoro, 5,6-Dichlorohexene similarly in stem extract Carbonochloridic acid, Furfuryl glycidyl ether, 4-Amino-6-methyl-piperidin-2-one, Goitrin, Nerinine whereas in roots of Flax herbs seven compounds were shown and they are 2(3H)-Furanone, Ethane, 1-chloro-1-fluoro-, Silane, Trimethyl-2-Propyne, Guanidino-L-proline, 1,3,5-Triazine and many other compounds were identified as low level.The result of this study offers a platform of using Linum usitatissimumas herbal alternative for various diseases and it can be used as functional bioactive food.
