The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the phytochemicals and GC-MS of seedlings of the important cereal grain Eleusine coracana L., commonly called ragi. The dried germinated seeds powder was extracted separately with ethanol. The extracts were subjected to phytochemical analysis with different tests. Phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of significant phytochemicals viz, steroids, Glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and volatile oils in the seedlings of all the genotypes of Ragi. Alkaloids were absent in all the genotypes studied. GC-MS analysis revealed five different bioactive compounds which are genotype-specific. The results revealed that the compound Trichloro ethylene was predominant in all the genotypes and the VR-847 genotype contained the least amount of bioactive components.
