The seeds of Livistona chinensis (Jacq.) R.Br. ex Mart. (Family: Arecaceae) plant traditionally find application in the
treatment of various diseases. Therefore, in the present study, phytochemical screening and biological profiling of Livistona
chinensis seed extracts were conducted. The bioactive components were analysed using GC-MS and UHPLC-QTOF-MS
and the fatty acid composition was determined using FAME analysis. GC-MS analysis results indicated the presence of oleic
acid (35.71%) and palmitic acid (30.7%) as major components in the seed extract prepared in n-hexane. UHPLC-QTOF-MS
analysis revealed the presence of 25 secondary metabolites, including isobutyric acid, acetoin, 9-oxononanoic acid,
piperidine, umbellic acid, furaneol, and ketopantolactone in the methanolic extract of seeds. FAME analysis results
suggested the presence of oleic acid (18.44%), lauric acid (11.66%), linoleic acid (11.30%), linolenic acid (10.20%), and
palmitic acid (9.96%) in abundance. In biological profiling, Livistona chinensis seed extracts were subjected to in vitro
antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity. The aqueous extract exclusively showed antimicrobial activity, and exhibited
inhibition zone of 16.1 mm only against gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia). The methanolic extract
demonstrated maximum antioxidant activity, at sample concentration of 200 μL. These findings suggest that
Livistona chinensis seeds might be a potential source of bioactive metabolites, antimicrobial agents, and antioxidant agents
that may be utilised in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries.
