Investigation of Phytochemical Constituents of Tobacco (Nicotiana Tobacum L.) Methanol Extract

Image

The dry shaded Nicotianatabacum leaves were collected and taken into the dry round bottom flask. Methanol was added into the round bottom flask. The sample was heated for 3 hours at 40ºC in a mandle. The mother -liquid of the sample was collected in a beaker through what man filter paper. The sample was filtered and concentrated. Then it is allowed to cool, storied in a container and kept in freezer for further investigation. GC-MS analysis Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is an instrumental technique, comprising a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS), by which complex mixtures of chemicals may be separated, identified and quantified. GC-MS analysis of extract was carried out on Gas Chromatograph interfaced to a Mass Spectrometer equipped with a DB-5 MS capillary standard non-polar column of 30 m length.
