Evaluation of Punica granatum L. fruits extracts as anti-fungus infecting Iraqi wheat crop Triticum aestivum (L.)
Keywords:
Punica granatum, extracts, anti-fungus, wheat cropAbstract
This study was conducted in the laboratories of the Faculty of Science / University of Kufa from October 2021 to March 2022, the Pomegranate granatum (L.) fruits plant was collected from Kufa marked and was cleaned of plankton with tap water and the fruits parts mesocarp (grease) and Peels were cut after separating them into small pieces and dried in shade and room temperature (24±2) and then crushed into a dry powder. A specific weight (10) grams of Mixing of two part (mesocarp and Peels) powder was extracted separately by soxhlet method using ethanol 96%. The qualitative analysis was studied for the detection phytochemicals using chemical reagents and GC-MS analysis was conducted to identify the quality and quantity of phytochemical compounds in crude extraction methods used in this study. Results of chemical tests for the alcoholic extract showed positive results for alkaloids, phenols, terpenes and glucosides, and the ethanolic extract of the mixing of ( mesocarp and Peels) using the Soxhlet method showed the highest rate of the chemical compounds diagnosed using GC-MS indicated 72 peaks.
