Abstract:
Plants are a rich source of bioactive phytochemicals which provide health benefits for humans further than those attributed to macronutrients and micronutrients. The phytochemical compounds isolated and purified are employed in a wide range of applications. In the present study, the bioactive compounds of Abelmoschus manihot benzene, chloroform, methanol and ethanol leaf extracts via GC-MS was analyzed and its biological properties being available in pure form, being nontoxic with a wide spectrum of biological functions, may find its application in the formation of various medicinal products.
