Abstract

Column chromatography of the USM yielded : long chain alcohol, Ilupeol, lanostane derivative and phytosterol mixture. GC-MS of the USM acetates showed the presence of 7- stigmastenol and 7-ergostenol. GC of the methylated fatty acids revealed the presence of 16 fatty acids. Chloroform extract yielded 3-sitosterol glucoside. The ethyl acetate extract afforded apigenin, kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferitin and rutin. The identification of these compounds was verified through spectral analysis and comparison with authenti samples.
