Analysis of Fatty Acids in Leaves of Loropetalum chinense and L.chinense var.rubrum by GC-MS
Objective: To extract and analyze fatty acids in leaves of L chinense Oliver and L chinense var. Rubrum Yieh. Methods; The fatty acids were extracted with Soxhlet extractor and identified by the GC-MS method. Results; 31, 26 and 30 components were identified from the leaves of L chinense, the green leaves and red leaves of L chinense var. Rubmm. There were 19, 14 and 16 kinds of fatty acid in the respective leaves, which accounted for 99. 09% , 95. 31% and 98. 83% of the total extraction, respectively. The main components in the extraction were oleic acid (30. 77% , 47.01% , 75. 28% ) , linoleic acid (48.49% , 29. 26% , 0% ) , hexadecanoic acid (9.83%, 8.87%, 11.71%), octadecanoic acid (3.86%, 3.18%, 4. 88%) and docosanoic acid (2.37%, 2. 17% , 2.58% ). Conclusion; Many kinds of unsaturated fatty acids exist in leaves of L chinense Oliver and L chinense var. Rubnan Yieh. The leaves of these two plants can be used as the traditional Chinese medicine.
