Abstract 
Viola odorata L. commonly known as Banafsha is a popular medicinal plant, used for the treatment of various respiratory ailments. Various plant tissue of Viola odorata plays an important role in anticancerous and antimicrobial activities. In the present study, metabolic profiling of the petiole and berry tissues of the plant was evaluated using LC-HRMS that revealed the presence of important metabolites in V. odorata. The petiole extract showed the presence of acetonic acid, cysteinyl glycine, dihydrocodeine, methionine, isoflavone glycoside and dafachronic acid, whereas berry extract indicated the presence of 6-methyl-2-thiouracil, 2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid, eugenol, cycloheximide, flavanol O-glycosides, myriocin, orotic acid, delphinidin. This is the first study that reports the presence of important metabolites in petioles and berries of V. odoarata from Kishtwar region of J&K.
