Popis: The present study was conducted to determine the availability of bioactive phytomolecules in the Dhaman (Grewia tiliifolia) fruit collected from a sub-tropical region of India. Methanolic and ethanolic extracts were prepared from processed Dhaman fruits. The extracts were screened for phytomolecules using the Gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. Results found that the methanolic extract has alkaloids at 5%, esters at 21%, triterpenoids at 2%, fatty alcohol at 5%, acid chloride at 2%, hydrocarbons at 26%, and steroids at 2%. However, the ethanolic extract has alkaloids (2%), ester (27%), fatty alcohol (6%), hydrocarbons (9%), steroids (13%), amide (4%), and triglycerides (2%) in different amounts. From this study, it has been concluded that the Dhaman fruit is highly enriched in different phytomolecules. As a result, Dhaman fruit has a high potential for curing various human diseases and well-being.
