“…The third fraction is still undergoing structure elucidation and identification processes. Qin et al (2010) have identified 41 components from the essential oil of P. sarmentosum stems and leaves using the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, namely α-thujenc, α-pinene, terpene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene, trans-β-ocimene, linalool, 4-terpineol, α-terpineol, methyl 3-phenylpropionate, safrole, n-tridecane, bicycloelemene, α-cadinene, α-copaene, methyleugenol, β-borbonene, β-cadinene, cis-caryophyllene, trans-caryophyllene, germacrene-D, (-)-alloaromadendrene, β- elemene, α-humulene, myristicine, germacrene B, δ-cadinene, elemicine, eusarone, nerol, caryophyllene oxid, cis-asarone, cedarene, cadinol, trans-asarone, n-heptadecane, isobutyl phthalate, butyl phthalate, phytol and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. Of these, myristicin and transcaryophyllene were identified as the major constituents in the oil.…”
