Abstract

GC-MS ANALYSIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SUDANESE ARACHIS HYPOGOEA L. (FABACEAE) OIL

Abdel Karim M.*, Mawahib A. and Kamal M. S.

Arachis hypogoea L. (peanut or groundnut)is an important crop in the pea family(Fabaceae). Peanut originated in South America and dissemination to Africa, Europe Asia occurred in the sixteenth century. The plant is widely grown in tropics and subtropics mainly for its edible oil.

The GC-MS analysis showed 25 components. Major constituents are: 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester(33.44%),9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester(24.29%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester(13.33%) and methyl stearate(6.28%).
