Introduction

Sherbath e bailphal is the health drink made of the pulp of Bail phal, or Bilva (Aegle marmelosL).Bilva has many medicinal roles [1]. Sherbath e-bailphal is taken as health drink particularly during summer as a coolant. The present workers have worked to scientifically evaluate the veracity of these medicine systems by latest techniques so that deeper knowledge of the mechanism of action of these medicines could be gained [2-20]. The present study in one step further in this endeavour. Not much work in this direction is reported as far as “Sherbath e-bailphal” is concerned.

Materials and Methods

The medicine Sherbath e-bailphal was bought from Unani medicine supplier and was suitably processed by standard procedures and the GC-MS analysis was performed.

Results

The gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile of Sherbath e-bailphal and possible medicinal role of each molecule is tabulated in Table 1.

Table 1: Indicates the retentions values, types of possible compound, their molecular formulae, molecular mass, peak area and their medicinal roles of each compound as shown in the GC MS profile of Sherbath e bailphal.

Figure 1 depicts gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile of Sherbath e-bailphal. The metabolites were identified by comparison with NIST spectral library and the possible pharmaceutical roles of each bio molecule as per National Agriculture Library, USA and others as shown in Table 1 [21].

Figure 1: Shows the gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile of Sherbath e bailphal.

Discussion

The gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile of Sherbath e-bailphal shows compounds, namely, 8-Hydroxy-2, 2, 8-trimethyldeca-5,9-dien-3-one, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, 1,15-Pentadecanedioic acid, Methyl 2-hydroxy-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate, Methyl 3-cis,9-cis,12-cis-octadecatrienoate, (E,Z,Z)-2,4,7-Tridecatrienal, Hexadecanoic acid, cyclohexyl ester etc. which have medicinal roles, as shown in Table 1. These molecules could be contributing to the cure of diseases for which Sherbath e bailphal is prescribed.

Conclusion

It could be summarized from the results and discussion that Sherbath e-Bailphal does contain important biomolecules which provides a clue to its prescription for the ailments it is given. Some of the molecules shown in the GC MS profile for which the medicinal roles are not known could be further probed.
