ABSTRACT
A wide range of medicinal plant parts is used for extract as raw drugs and they possess varied medicinal properties. In the present study phytochemical and GC-MS analysis of ethanol extract of buds of Syzygium aromaticum was carried out. The extraction of plant materials was done following the method of Harborne. The phytochemical analysis of the ethanol extract of buds of Syzygium aromaticum revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fixed oils, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The GC-MS analysis of the ethanolic extract of buds of Syzygium aromaticum revealed the presence of 19 compounds. This study forms a basis for the phytochemical characterization of the extracts, the
