Abstract: Thin-layer chomatography of leaf extracts of male and female lines of nutmeg indicated the presence of steroid also showed similar degredation.Structural elucidation of this compound was accomplished by IR and MS and was tentatively identified as 1-dimethyl 2-ethyl Butyl ketone with molecular weight as 150.The results of the present study suggest the possible use for identification of sexual characteristics of nutmeg in seeding stage itself.
