GC-MS analysis and phytochemical screening of chloroform extract of Amaranthus viridis

Plants have biological compounds which are utilized for treating different human ailments and furthermore assume a significant part in relieving. Amaranthus viridis is utilized as traditional medication in the treatment of fever, torment, asthma, diabetes, loose bowels, urinary problems, liver issues, eye issues and venereal sicknesses. Consequently, it is important to research the phytochemical constituents of the Indian therapeutic plant Amaranthus viridis. This study was intended to assess the phytochemical discoveries for the presence of Alkaloids, Coumarins, Steroids, Saponins, Tannins, Flavonoids, Phenols, and Terpenoids. The phytochemical profile of chloroform concentrates of leaves of Amaranthus viridis were dissected utilizing GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) technique.The leaves were dried, powdered, and extracted with chloroform by using Soxhlet apparatus, then subjected to GC-MS analysis by using Clarus GCMS-QP 2010 Ultra Gas chromatography. The unknown range was contrasted and that of the known by utilizing NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) information base, which uncovered the presence of various phytochemicals in the extract. The compounds are pharmacologically and naturally significant.
