The aim of this study was to analyze the phytochemical constituents present in the Coconut shell oil using GC-MS and HPTLC fingerprints profiles for various bioactive compounds. In GC-MS analysis the presence of many bioactive compounds were determined by different peaks with low and high molecular weight. The separation of the active constituents has been developed by HPTLC method using solvent system; Toluene:ethyl acetate: glacial acetic acid (9:1:0.2) and examined under UV-254nm, 366nm and visible light. (Vanillin- Sulphuric acid). The Coconut shell oil extract showed the presence of variety of secondary metabolites and it is expected to exhibit therapeutic properties.
