Essential Oil Composition of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim.) Maxim Roots

The root oils of three samples of Eleutherococcus senticosus were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The quantitatively most significant constituent in the oils of samples 1 and 2, respectively, was (E)-anethole (27.9-17.2%), whereas it could be found only at a concentration of 1.0% in sample 3. In this oil...

Description
Summary:The root oils of three samples of Eleutherococcus senticosus were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The quantitatively most significant constituent in the oils of samples 1 and 2, respectively, was (E)-anethole (27.9-17.2%), whereas it could be found only at a concentration of 1.0% in sample 3. In this oil sample, predominating compounds were thymol (4.7%), alpha-longipinene (4,8%), guaia-6,9-dien-4beta-ol (7.4%) and alpha-bisabolol (7.6%). Generally, the content of monoterpenoids (56-16%) was distinctly more variable compared to the sesquiterpenoids (36-25%).
