The investigation was carried out to identify the various fatty acids present in the areal parts of Leptadenia reticulata, one of the important medicinal plants of India. Non-polar (Petroleum Ether) extract of areal parts was used for this study. Saponification was carried out using dried extract to obtain fatty acids. Further esterification of saponifiable fraction was performed to obtain fatty acid methyl ester. Extracted fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique using NIST library. From GC-MS analysis, 14 components were identified in areal parts of Leptadenia reticulata. This study reveals that L. reticulata is a good source of fatty acids with medicinal properties. This methodology has the advantage of excellent identification of Non polar moiety of medicinal plant.

气相色谱-质谱法快速鉴定网纹leptadenia网状部位中的脂肪酸

进行了调查，以确定存在于印度重要药用植物之一的Leptadenia reticulata的面积部分中的各种脂肪酸。这项研究使用了非极性（石油醚）区域提取物。使用干燥的提取物进行皂化以获得脂肪酸。进行皂化级分的进一步酯化以获得脂肪酸甲酯。使用NIST库通过气相色谱和质谱（GC-MS）技术分析提取的脂肪酸甲酯。通过GC-MS分析，在网纹Leptadenia的面积中鉴定出14种成分。这项研究表明网状L.是具有药用特性的脂肪酸的良好来源。这种方法的优点是可以很好地鉴定药用植物的非极性部分。
