Chemical Composition of Vietnamese Essential Oils of Cinnamomum rigidifolium, Dasymaschalon longiusculum, Fissistigma maclurei and Goniothalamus albiflorus

Abstract

Cinnamomum rigidifolium, Dasymaschalon longiusculum, Fissistigma maclurei and Goniothalamus albiflorus were collected from different landscapes in Vietnam and hydro distilled to produce essential oils with yields from 0.15 – 0.35%. The oils were analyzed by GC-MS-FID and rechecked by measurements on two different instrumentation configurations. The main components of the studied essential oils were for Cinnamomum rigidifolium linalool (19.4%), α-pinene (13.8%), verbenone (9.9%) and cis-verbenol (8.9%), total identified 90.5%; for Dasymaschalon longiusculum spathulenol (21.4%), caryophyllene oxide (17.6%), α-pinene (5.5%) and β-pinene (5.2%), total identified 70.1%; for Fissistigma maclurei spathulenol (17.8%), guaia-6,10(14)-diene-4β-ol (10.3%), (E)-β-caryophyllene (7.3%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.0%), total identified 75.3% and for Goniothalamus albiflorus 1,8-cineole (13.2%), α-pinene (10.6%), ledol (7.5%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.3%), total identified 78.0%.
