Chemical Composition of the Root Bark Oil of Litsea mollis from China

Article Preview

Abstract:

The essential oil from the Root Bark of Litsea mollis was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 31 compounds were identified, representing 95.22% of the oil. The main components identified were (R)-citronellal (39.9%), (R)-citronellol (13.63%), (Z)-citral (11.5%) and β-caryophyllene (5.78%).
