Chemical Profiling of Nonpolar Compounds of Onopardum Acanthium using GCMASS

The purpose of this study is to identify the oily and non-polar compounds of Onopardum acanthium emerged in south of IRAQ and to prepare them for further biological and chemical study once their identity was affirmed. The extraction done using cold maceration with petroleum ether solvent. After that, the extracts send for chromatographic analysis to characterize the chemical present in the extract.
