FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF OILY EXTARCTS FROM GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA L. ROOTS
P.MUTAILIFU
Abstract
The chemical compositions of oily extract from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. were studied by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The GC/MS analysis study showed linoleic acid (55.76%), palmitic acid (16.12%), oleic acid (10.5%) and behenic acids (5.68%) were the major fatty acids of the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. The oily extracts exhibited highest antioxidant ability on DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging in vitro and antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albican.
