Volatile constituents of the flowers of Dipteryx odorata (Aubl.) Willd

The chemical composition of the volatile concentrates of the flowers of Dipteryx odorata, the cumaru (tonka) tree of the Amazon, was obtained by simultaneous distillation-extraction and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The major components identified were germacrene D (31.1%), bicyclogermacrene (13.0%) and...
