Chemical Investigations of Volatile Oils from Aromatic Plants Growing in Côte d’ivoire: Harisonia abyssinica Oliv., Canarium schwerfurthii Engl. Zanthoxylum gilletti (De wild) Waterm. and Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides Lam.

Chemical Investigations of Volatile Oils from Aromatic Plants Growing in Côte d’ivoire: Harisonia... Abstract This study reports for the first time the results of chemical investigations by GC and GC-MS of the essential oils obtained from different parts of four aromatic plants growing in Côte d’Ivoire, the total among varied from 90.2 % to 98.7 %. The leaves oil of Harissonia abyssinica was rich in β-caryophyllene (31.2 %), -humulene (10.3 %) and germacrene D (14.5 %). When, the root bark oil of Canarium shweinfurthii was predominated by δ-2-carene (14.5 %), limonene (20 %) and terpinolene (42.6 %). (E)-β-ocimene (10 %), linalool (49.5 %) and E-nerolidol (11.3 %) constituted the chemotype of stem bark oil of Zanthoxylum gilletti (syn. Zanthoxylum macrophylum), while the leaves oil was rich in (E)-β-ocimene (32.3 %) and linalool (47 %). The leaves oil of Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides was characterized by myrcene (10 %), germacrene D (10.2 %) accompanied by limonene (7.1 %),β-caryophyllene (7 %) and decanal (6.4 %). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Analytical Chemistry Letters Taylor & Francis
