Volatile Compounds Determined by GC-MS in Young Leaves of Macadamia integrifolia
The qualitative and quantitative analysis for volatile components in young leaves of Macadamia integrifolia were discussed.Under the conditions of different polarities of columns and programmed temperatures,the young leaves of Macadamia integrifolia were extracted with n-hexane and ehtyl acetate,and 45 volatile components with 6 groups of substance were identified,i.e.27 hybrocarbon and its derivatives,3 ketones,2 aldehydes,3 alcohols,2 organic acids,8 esters.The unsaturated fatty acid (linolenic acid,palmitic acid),phytosterol and phenols had not only nutritional value,but also healthcare functions such as lowering blood pressure and lipid levels,resistance to oxidation and cancer,etc.
