Chemical Components from Essential Oil of Pandanus amaryllifolius Leaves
Objective:To analyze the chemical compositions of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves essential oil extracted by steam dis tillation.Methods:The essential oil of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrum,and the relative content of each component was determined by area normalization method.Results:128 peaks were separated and 95 compounds were identified,which weighed 97.75%.The main chemical components of the essential oil were phytol (42.15%),squalene (16.81%),what' s more pentadecanal (6.17 %),pentadecanoic acid (4.49 %),3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (3.83 %),phytone(2.05%) and the other 74 chemical compositions were firstly identified from the essential oil of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves.Conclusion:The chemical compositions of Pandanu samaryllifolius leaves essential oil was systematically,deeply isolated and identified for the first time.This experiment has provided scientific foundation for further utilization of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves.
