Abstract:
The bark and wood of Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engl. have been analyzed for chemical profile by GC–TOFMS. Overall thirty-two compounds from bark and twenty-eight compounds from wood have been detected. Sixteen constituents have been found to be common in both the extracts. GC–TOFMS chemical profile may be a significant finger print chemotaxonomic marker as an identity of this plant.
