Abstract:

Steam distillation was used to extract essential oil from the leaves of Cinnamomun burmannii B1. The compositions and their relative contents in essential oil were quantitatively determined by GC-MS with peak area normalization method. Results indicated that a total of 40 volatile compounds were identified, which was accounted for 99.4% of total volatile compounds. The predominant volatile components were D-borneol (78.6%), bornyl acetate (3.26%), (-)-spathulenol (2.60%) and eucalyptol (1.92%), respectively. Therefore, D-borneol was one of the major components in Cinnamomun burmannii B1, which exhibited a promising prospect for developing medical products and perfume.

Key words: Cinnamomun burmannii B1., essential oil, borneol, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
