Phytochemical characterization using GC–MS analysis of bioactive constituents of ethanolic extract of bulbs of Tulipa gesneriana L.

The current study aims to analyze the biochemical composition of tulip (Tulipa gesneriana) bulbs. GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of various biologically active compounds, including hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid, campesterol, clionasterol, and stigmasterol. Furthermore, gamma-sitostenone and melezitose were identified in the bulb s extracts. Fatty acid analysis indicated the presence of compounds such as linoleic acid, linoelaidic acid, oleic acid, octanoic acid, eicosanoic acid, and palmitic acid. This thorough investigation offers a comprehensive analysis of tulip bulbs and emphasizes the existence of physiologically active substances such as stigmasterol, furfural, 2-furan-methanol, and 8,11-octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester. The results of this study shed new light on the possible biological and pharmacological effects of these bulbs.
