Leaf oils of Psidium cymosum Urb. and Psidium sartorianum Niedz. from Cuba

The chemical composition of the leaf oils of Psidium cymosum Urb. and Psidium sartoranum Niedz. were studied by GC/MS. Thirty-three volatile compounds were identified in P. cymosum, of which T-cadinol (46.6%), 1,8-cineole (15.0%) and alpha-muurolol (11.8%) were the major ones. Twenty-one volatile co...

Summary:The chemical composition of the leaf oils of Psidium cymosum Urb. and Psidium sartoranum Niedz. were studied by GC/MS. Thirty-three volatile compounds were identified in P. cymosum, of which T-cadinol (46.6%), 1,8-cineole (15.0%) and alpha-muurolol (11.8%) were the major ones. Twenty-one volatile compounds were identified in P. sartorianum, of which limonene (43.0%) and alpha-pinene (39.5%) were the major ones.
