Vicia faba was grown in crude oil polluted soil and its roots were extracted for the detection and estimation of hydrocarbons. Saturated and unsaturated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons (AHs) ranging from C(22) to C(36) were identified in AHs fraction. However, PAHs were not present in the same extract. This could be due to the fact that PAHs being toxic compounds are not accumulated in the plant root extracts of V. faba grown in crude oil polluted soil. Three phytoalexins were identified and estimated by mass spectrometric analysis in the root extracts of V. faba. These three compounds are 2-t-butyl-4-(dimethyl benzyl) phenol, 2, 4-bis (dimethyl benzyl) phenol and 2,4-bis (dimethyl benzyl)-6-butyl phenol. These phenolics in V. faba are being reported for the first time. These compounds are presumably elicited as a direct stress on crude oil hydrocarbons on the roots of this plant.
