Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract This paper reported the chemical constituents of the leaves and fruits of Cinnamomum camphora ( L. ) Presl and their uses. By applying GC, GC -MS, TLC, NMR, numerous components have been identified. The major component of the essential oil of leaves was the Linalool (81.%). Nineteen compounds were identified in the essential oils of fruits. These components are a-pinene ( 0.1% ) , Camphene ( 7.8% ) , ( - ) -β-pinene ( 8.7% ) , Linanool ( 0.9% ) , Citronellal ( 0.5% ) , 2-propanol, 1- ( 2-methoxy-l-methylethoxy ) (0.2%), 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-penthyl ester (0.4%), Safrole ( 61.0%) Camphenilone ( 0.1% ) , Ethanol, 2- ( 3,3-dimethylcyclohexylidene ) ( 1.5% ) , Humulene( 1.0% ) , Cadinene ( 0.1% ) , Sesquicitronellene ( 0.8% ) , Cyclohexe-:ne, 6-ethenyl-6-methyl-l- ( 1-methylethyl ) -3- ( 1-methylethylidene ) ( 0.2% ) , Tricyloheptane, 1,7-dimethyl, 7-methylpentenyl ( 0.8%), β-bisabolene(7.9% ) , Nonandioic acid dimethyl ester ( 4.9% ), etc. Fatty acid constituents of seeds were tested, the essential contents are lauric acid ( 83.4% ) and capric acid (10.1%). It is shown that the essential oils of leaves and fruits form C. camphora (L.) Presl can be new flavour resources.
