The<br>preliminary qualitative phytochemical examination reveals the existence of possible bioactive<br>components such as phenol, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, tannins,<br>terpenoids, quinones, oxalate, and lipids. The FTIR analysis data indicated the presence of numerous<br>functional groups, including alcohol, carboxylic acid, phenols, alkenes, lipids, triglycerides, nitro,<br>aromatics, alkyl halides, alkyne, and glycogen. GC-HRMS analysis of fruits reveals the presence of<br>medicinally important bioactive compounds such as trans-β-Ocimene, Piperidine-2,5-dione, p-Cymene,<br>3-p-Menthen-7-al, γ-Elemene, α-Cubebene, Caryophyllene, α-Guaiene, Humulene, Ginsenol, α-<br>Muurolene, Santolina triene, aR-Turmerone, Turmeronol A, Piperidine. The AAS and UV-VIS<br>spectrophotometer findings showed that fruits, leaves, and stems contained varied levels of nutritionally<br>important minerals like Na, K, Mg, P, Ca, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, and S etc.<br>Several analytical approaches demonstrated that the Solanum anguivi Lam. plant contains a<br>high concentration of medicinally and nutritionally important compounds</p> ER -
