Description
Summary:The essential oils of Cinnamomum cordatum Kosterm. were analysed by gas chromatography, by retention indices and GC–MS. Forty‐three compounds were identified in the leaf oil and the major constituents were linalool (17.3%), (E)‐methyl cinnamate (17.1%), β‐phellandrene (9.0%), benzyl benzoate (7.6%), terpinen‐4‐ol (7.0%), benzyl salicylate (4.7%) and methyl eugenol (4.4%). The bark oil was made up almost entirely of methyl eugenol (92.1%). Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
