Bioactives are chemical compounds often referred to as secondary metabolites. Sixteen bioactive compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Ricinus communis. The identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. GC-MS analysis of Ricinus communis revealed the e Less
