الملخص

Morettia phillaeana was analyzed for its chemical composition of surface epicuticular wax. The constituents were extracted from the leaves by using n-hexane solvent, and were identified by using Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). The major components were hydrocarbons (74.15%), fatty acids, methyl ester (15.73%). and phytosterol (5.47%). Twelve components out of 29 were characterized representing 90.98% of total components. The most abundant compounds were tetracontane (57.74%), Octacosane (6.58%), β-sitoterol (5.47%), Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (3.81%), pentacosane (3.77%) and 2-methylhexacosane (3.43%).
