Momeinositol (43.27%), 9, 12-octadecanoic acid, 2 (12.52%) pentadecanoic<br />acid (4.12%) and dibutyl phthalate (3.34%) were the major compound found through the GC-MS analysis.<br />Conclusion: The presence of various compounds in the methanolic extract of P. wallichiana confirms its relevance not only for pharmaceutical<br />purpose but for various industrial purposes too.<br />Keywords: Pinus wallichiana, Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy of plant extract, Gas<br />chromatography-mass spectroscopy of conifer, Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy profiling.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={JOSHI, SWATI and RAI, NISHANT and Kumar, Navin}, year={2016}, month={Mar.}, pages={55–57} }
