Popis: The essential oil composition of two different styrax gums, Asian and American were analysed by GC and GC-MS. Fifty-eight components representing more than 99.4% of the oil from Asian styrax gum and 57 components representing more than 99% of the oil from American styrax gum were identified. The major components were styrene (70.4 and 30.9% respectively), α-pinene (19.4 and 19.6%) and β-caryophyllene (0.2 and 20.2%) for the two oils. These results show that we could identify an Asian from an American styrax by relative amounts of styrene and β-caryophyllene in the essential oils. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
