Actually I want to find frequency components from a gas sensor output signal.. can any one help me..?

Your question is perhaps too generic, however to find frequency components of a signal in Matlab the FFT command is braodly used.Have a look here

Try this
>> x=data;
>> Fs=50;
>>L=length(x);
>>NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
>>f = Fs/2*linspace(0,1,NFFT/2+1);
>> x=data;
>> Fs=50;
>> L=length(x);
>> NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
>> f = Fs/2*linspace(0,1,NFFT/2+1);
>> Y = fft(x,NFFT)/L;
>> plot(f,2*abs(Y(1:NFFT/2+1)))

ylabel('|Y(f)|')

I tried this approach and I'm getting 0Hz frequency. Please find attached data. The data duration is 15.763 secs.

clear all;
clc;
i=sqrt(-1);
e=exp(1);
F=input('Input X and Y in matrix form (nX2) = ');
Unable to run the 'fevalJSON' function because it calls the 'input' function, which is not supported for this product offering.
tmp=size(F);
N=tmp(1,1)
F_sample=1/(F(3,1)-F(2,1))
x=[];
y=[];
for k=0:1:120
x=[x k];
f=0;
for j=1 : N
f=f + F((j),2)*e^(-i*2*pi*k*(j)/N);
end
f=abs(f);
y=[y f];
end
plot(x,y);
% stem(x,y);
