Abstract
GC-MS technique was used for determination of chemical constituents of the
doum fruit extract. Doum fruits Powder was analyzed by an X-ray fluorescence to
determine the major available elemental constituents.
The results of GC-MS analysis showed presence of (34) chemical components.
The main constituents were Tris(hydroxymethyl) nitromethane (27.67%), 3-omethyl-
D-glucose (15.33%), 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (7.49%), dl-Glyceraldehde
dimer (4.19%)and Maltol (3.24%).
XRFanalysis indicates the presence of (9) elements (K, Ca, Fe, Cu,
Zn, Pb, Br, Rb and Sr).potassium showed the highest concentration (2.66%),
calcium (0.373%), iron (0.00596%) and bromine (0.00447%).
Other elements were detected at trace levels, including strontium
(0.00163%), cupper (0.0016%), rubidium (0.0015%), zinc (0.000549%) and lead
(0.000126%).
