Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive compounds from Stevia rebaudiana leaf by GC-MS Technigue. This analysis revealed that Stevia rebaudiana contain Benzo(b)thiophene, 6 methyl, 1 H-Pyrrol (2,3-C Pyridine propanoic acid 5(4H)-oxo-6,7-dihydromethyl ester, Pentadecanoic acid, 13 methyl;methyl ester, Hexahydropyridine, 4- (4,5-dimethoxy pheny,Hexadecenoic acid,14-ethyl; methyl ester, 9-Octa decanoic acid,(E), 5- Octadecanoic acid Heptadecanoic acid,15-methyl; ethyl ester, Pregna-4, 6-diene 3, 20-dione, 17, hydroxy -6, 16a- dimethyl, 5a- Pregna 16-en 3, 20-one, 3a, 12a di hydroxyl diacetate, 3,4 Dimethyl-5 oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-y–(4-4 dimethyl 5(2,3,3-trimethyl-5 methylthio-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2ylmethylene)pyrrolidin-2yelene) thio acetic acid,5 –(tert-butyl)ester, Propanoic acid, and 2-(3 acetoxy- 4,4,14 trimethyl and rost-8-en-17yl).
