Essential oils of Piper peltata (L.) Miq. and Piper aduncum L. from Cuba

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the leaves of Piper peltata (L.) Miq. and P. aduncum L. from Cuba were examined by combined GC/MS. The oil obtained from P. peltatum was characterized by the presence of caryophyllene oxide (22.9%), spathulenol (9.0%), trans-calamenene (5....

Description
Summary:The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the leaves of Piper peltata (L.) Miq. and P. aduncum L. from Cuba were examined by combined GC/MS. The oil obtained from P. peltatum was characterized by the presence of caryophyllene oxide (22.9%), spathulenol (9.0%), trans-calamenene (5.4%) and alpha-copaene (5.2%) as major constituents, while that of P. aduncum contained dillapiole (82.2%) as the major component.
