Citrullus colocynthis Schrader belongs to family Cucurbitaceae. It grows widely in Melghat, Maharastra India and it has been used in folk medicine by tribals. To evaluate the different medicinal properties and compound identification GC-MS is helpful. The identification of phytochemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. The Benzene extract of Citrullus colocynthis Schrader seeds analyzed by GC-MS shows the presence of compounds like N-Hexadecanoic acid, 17-Octadecynoic acid, Octadecynoic acid, Oleic acid, 2-Acetyltetradecanoic acid, Ethyl ester, Hexatriacontane, 2R-Acetoxymethyn-1,3,3-Trimethyl-4T-(3-Methyl-2-Betun-1-YL)-1T-Cyclohexanol, 1-1’:3’,1’’-Tercyclopentane,2’-Docecyl- and Ethyl acetate extract revealed existence of N-Hexadecanoic acid, 9,12 octadecadedienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 1- Hexyl-2- Nitrocyclohexane, Tritetracontane, 2,3 Dehydro-4-oxo-Beta-Iononone, 2R- Acetoxymethyl-1,3,- Trimetyl 4T-(3 Metyl-2- Buten-1-Yl)-1T-Cyclohexanol, 1,1’:3’,1”- Tetracyclopentane,2’- Dodecyl-.
