Abstract:
Mucuna pruriens is an under-utilized wild legume, which is widespread in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The test was carried out in Mucuna pruriens seed ‘Magic bean’ a species of Fabaceae family is a pot of medicinal uses. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was carried in Mucuna pruriens seed and confirmed the presence of alkaloids, reducing sugar, proteins, carbohydrates, saponins and tannins. Three extracts were prepared namely Oil, Aqueous, Alcohol extracts from Mucuna pruriens for GC-MS analysis. Oil extract of Mucuna pruriens Seed through GC- MS analysis identified about 17 components and the main component is N-Hexadecanoic acid. Water extract of Mucuna pruriens Seed shows Ethane, 1,1-Diethoxy-, 2-Methoxy-1,3-Dioxolane, 1-Butanol, 3-Methyl, Formic Acid, 1- Methylethyl Ester, 3,3-Diethoxy-1-Propanol as main compounds. Ethanolic extract shows 1,2- ethanediamine, n-methyl, tuaminoheptane, 2,2-dimethoxybutan as major compounds. Among the three extracts tested, Ghee extract contains toxic- free compounds analysed by GC-MS and found to be safe for consumption. Oil extract can be recommended for the preparation of Ayurvedic medicine for treating various disease conditions. Keywords: Mucuna pruriens, Phytochemical analysis, GC-MS analysis
