Chemical Content Analysis of Syrian Fig Latex Extracts
Abstract
Samples of fig tree fruit latex were extracted with n- hexane, methanol, dichloromethane and then the contents of the extract were determined using technology of GC/MS.
The percentage of extracted substances is 10%, 11.4%, 8.2% of the weight of the studied latex. 23, 21, 16 compounds were identified in the extracts. These compounds constitute 99.9%, 97%, 100% of the n- hexane, methanol, dichloromethane extracts respectively.
It was also noted that the most important compounds found in the extracts of fig fruit latex are:
n- hexane extract: Lupeol acetate 52.3%, Cycloeucalenol acetate 16.8%, β-Amyrin 8.9%, Lupeol 5.6%, Cycloartenol acetate 5.2%.
methanol extract: Betulin 32.7%, 28-(Acetyloxy)urs-20(30)-en-3-yl acetate 25.2 %, Lanosta-8,24-diene-3,22-diol-diacetate (3β,22R) 22.6 %, Oxolinic acid 10.2 %.
dichloromethane extract: Betulin.45.7%, Lanosta-8,24-diene-3,22-diol-diacetate (3β,22R) 24.2 %, Oxolinic acid 10.5 %, Lupa-13(18),22-dien-3-ol- acetate 9.9%.
