Popis: | The leaf essential oils of Cinnamomum glanduliferum (Wall) Meissn and C. glaucescens (Nees) Meissn growing wild in northeast India were studied by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-six and 15 components representing 67.8% and 98.7% of the total oils of C. glanduliferum and C. glaucescens, respectively, were identified. (E)-Nerolidol (52.2%) was the major component in C. glanduliferum, while elemicin (92.9%) was the predominant component in C. glaucescens. The occurrence of (E)-nerolidol (52.2%) and elemicin (92.9%) as a major component in the leaf oils of C. glanduliferum and C. glaucescens, respectively, are reported here for the first time in this genus. These results of comparisons with those previously reported for the same plant parts revealed that C. glanduliferum leaf oil is a chemotype source for (E)-nerolidol, while C. glaucescens leaf oil is a new source of elemicin. |
