Chemical composition of essential oils from aerial parts of Cinnamomum malabatrum (Burman f.) Bercht & Presl.

Abstract: The constituents of the essential oils of leaf, petiole, shoot and terminal shoot of Cinnamomum malabatrum were determined by GC and GC-MS. Thirty-nine compounds, constituting 95% of the oil, were identified in the leaves. Major constituents of the leaf oil were (E)-caryophyllene (28.6%), (E)-cinnamyl acetate (15.1%), bicyclogermacrene (14.4%) and benzyl benzoate (8.5%). Twenty-eight compounds, representing 98% and 97% of the oil, were identified in the petioles and shoots, respectively, whereas in the oil of … Show more

“…Up to date, TLC [24], HPLC [5,[25][26][27], GC [4,28,29] and GC-MS [30][31][32][33] have been developed for analysis of different species of Cinnamomum. However, these methods focused on the qualitative analysis [25,27,[29][30][31][32] or quantitative determination of few components [26,28,33], due to the lack of reference compounds. In addition, sample preparation is the crucial first step in the analysis of herbs and roughly accounts for approximately 30% of the analytical error [34].…”

“…Many of the species of Cinnamomum have medicinal and spice value, C. verum being the most important. Due to its economic importance and medicinal values, the genus has attracted the attention of phytochemists, and several terpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids and aliphatic compounds have been isolated (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Even though several species have been subjected to phytochemical studies, there are some endemic species that are not explored for their chemical constituents.…”

“…Moreover, the composition of cinnamon oil differs from the different parts of the cinnamon tree. For example, the bark oil is rich in CA, 2‐MCA, and CAc, etc., whereas the leaves and fruits of cinnamon mainly produce the volatile oil, in which CAc is the major constituent, accompanied by CA . The purified components extracted from these oils can be applied in many fields.…”
