Comprehensive chemical profiling of Vitex agnus-castus L. leaves: analytical validation of bioactive lipids, phytosterols, and nutritional elements.
This study provides a targeted bioactive lipid and nutritional profile of the under-investigated leaves of Vitex agnus-castus L. An absolute methanolic extract of shade-dried leaves was analysed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) after derivatization, alongside essential mineral quantification via atomi...
