Abstract

The ethanolic ischolar_main extract of Chomelia asiatica was found to contain macroelements such as total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium contents. Total nitrogen content was recorded maximum. Microelements test revealed the presence of iron content only. Manganese, zinc, selenium, cobalt and boron were not recorded. Secondary metabolites such as total phenolic substance, tannin content and total flavonoid substance were recorded during quantitative estimation. The phenolic substance was found to be elevated. Flavonoid and tannin substances were less than the phenol compounds. Analysis through Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometry identified 19 phytocomponents. 2',4',6'-Trideutero-2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde was found to be maximum with 8.63 peak area percentage at 31.40 retention time.
