Abstract
The importance of dietary vegetables cannot be overemphasised. This study aimed to screen the bioactive compounds present in C. olitorius and A. hybridus hydroethanol (30:70%v/v) extract. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) was used for characterising the phytocomponents. A. hybridus had 9 compounds compared to C. olitorius, which had 15 compounds. Neophytadiene, hexadecenoic acid methyl ester, 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, phytol, and methyl stearate were present in both extracts. C. olitorius alone contained bicyclo (3,1,1) heptane, 2,6,6 trimethyl, 2-tridecanone, pyridine-3-carboxamide,4-dimethylamino-N-(2,4-difluorophenyl), octadecenal and octadecane 1-etheyloxyl while 2-pentadecanone, 6, 10, 14-trimethyl-, dodecanoic acid, ethyl 9-hexadecenoate and 3, 7, 11, 15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadece-1-ol were present in A. hybridus only. The three main compounds present in C. olitorius were hexadecenoic acid (21.99%), octadecane 1-ethenyloxy (19.51%) and hexadecanal (18.08%). In A. hybridus, hexadecenoic acid (43.75%), methyl stearate (23.43%), and phytol (10.90%) were the most common compounds. The bioactive constituents identified have numerous applications such as antimicrobial, flavour enhancing, anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, chemo signalling, antidiarrheal, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and insecticidal properties.
