Abstract

Cassia fistula, commonly known as the Golden Shower Tree, is a medicinally important plant used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. This study presents the Analytical chemistry and GCMS analysis of Cassia fistula fruit pulp, for Organophysicochemical characteristics with identifying 20 bioactive compounds, primarily fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The major compounds include cyclopropane pentanoic acid, 2- undecyl-, methyl ester, 11-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, and hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester. These compounds exhibit potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and Laxative, Hypolipidemic, Cardioprotective properties supporting the traditional use of Cassia fistula in treating various ailments. The findings highlight the plant's therapeutic potential and provide a basis for further pharmacological studies.
