ABSTRACT:
This research focuses on the separation and determination of active compounds, phenols, and antioxidants in the Prosopis cineraria plant, also known as the Ghafeth plant. Liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) technologies coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) were employed for the analysis. The phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of Prosopis cineraria, including total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and fatty acid content were determined. The extracts from the Ghafeth plant are widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries due to their natural antioxidant properties. The plant's potential in traditional medicine, as well as its antimicrobial and health-beneficial effects, were also investigated. The research provides valuable insights into the bioactive substances present in the Ghafeth plant and their potential applications in various industries. Moreover, the study establishes the equivalency of plant products to commercially available drugs, emphasizing the importance of natural sources in developing functional ingredients for health-related conditions.
