Abstract: The present study was conducted to
determine the availability of bioactive phytomolecules in the
Dhaman (Grewia tiliifolia) fruit collected from a sub-tropical
region of India. Methanolic and ethanolic extracts were prepared
from processed Dhaman fruits. The extracts were screened for phytomolecules
using the Gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
method. Results found that the methanolic extract has alkaloids
at 5%, esters at 21%, triterpenoids at 2%, fatty alcohol at 5%,
acid chloride at 2%, hydrocarbons at 26%, and steroids at 2%.
However, the ethanolic extract has alkaloids (2%), ester (27%),
fatty alcohol (6%), hydrocarbons (9%), steroids (13%), amide (4%),
and triglycerides (2%) in different amounts. From this study,
it has been concluded that the Dhaman fruit is highly enriched
in different phytomolecules. As a result, Dhaman fruit has a high
potential for curing various human diseases and well-being.
