Abstract

Arterial The chemical study dealt with the chemical content of the studied leaves of the
Ziziphius plant, as the chemical compounds were identified using GasChromatography Mass
Spectrometry (GC/MS) technology by comparing the chemical content. The two studied samples
showed that they contained six compounds: Octadecenoic acid (Z), oxiranylmethyl ester and Bis(2-).
ethylhexyl) phthalate, Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester, Neophytadiene, and n-Hexadecanoc acid. This
article explains the differences in the phytochemical composition of species of the genus Ziziphus in
Iraq using GC-MS technology, as 49 phytochemical compounds were recorded in the ethanolic
extracts of the plant’s leaves under review. The study and study using GC-MS technology. As for the
rest of the chemical compounds, their presence varied according to the type. Some of them were
limited to one type, some were present in two types, and some were more than 25.506. The highest
value of the retention time was 25.506 at peak 22 for the active compound in Myristic acid glycidyl
ester of type Z. mauritiaus (Tofahy Var.), while the lowest retention time is 2.242 at peak (1) for the
compound Methoxyacetaldehyde diethyl acetal in Z.jujuba species.
