摘要

Echinochloa colona is often perceived as a contentious crop due to its classification as an agro-weed, yet it possesses noteworthy potential in medicinal applications. This crop merits consideration as a valuable natural resource that warrants further investigation regarding its potential contributions to the diagnosis and management of serious health issues, conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and various congenital disorders continue to pose significant challenges on a global scale. The active compounds within this herb that facilitate the management of the mentioned disorders necessitate careful optimization of dosage to maximize the therapeutic benefits of the herbal product while minimizing the risk of toxicity associated with elevated concentrations. This optimization can be effectively accomplished following the determination of the ideal concentrations of the compounds involved. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) provides a preliminary assessment of the functional groups present in a sample. In conjunction, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) offers a comprehensive analysis that determines the optimal concentrations of various compounds. Together, these techniques support the formulation of herbal drug dosages targeted at addressing the prevalence of congenital diseases. This report further underscores the significant presence of phenolic compounds, along with various other constituents that are recognized for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, and anticancer properties. This highlights the potential of Echinochloa colona seeds as a valuable functional food and nutraceutical resource. This study presents detailed report of GCMS analysis of Echinochloa colona seeds and medicinal importance of the compounds detected after the analysis.
