Abstract
A lipoid is an oily organic compound soluble in organic solvents which are essential structural components of all living cells. The lipoidal matter, i.e., unsaponifiable and saponifiable fractions of hexane extract of Coldenia procumbens Linn. leaves, was characterized by gas chromatography and mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. The unsaponifiable matter was found to contain sterols (61.06%) and hydrocarbons (34.4%), while the saponifiable matter was found to contain about 20 compounds composed of 49.43% saturated fatty acid methyl esters and 50.57% unsaturated fatty acids.
