    • GC–MS Analysis of an Herbal Medicinal Remedy to Identify Potential Toxic Compounds

      Current Trends in Mass Spectroscopy. Spectrocopy Online

      The aim of this investigation was to qualitatively determine the chemical constituents of an unlabeled herbal medicinal remedy obtained from a Somalian patient and attributed to the C. molmol species. Volatile constituents were isolated from the resin-based herbal medicinal remedy using both steam distillation and Soxhlet extraction and were analyzed using GC–MS.
