The essential oils from fruits, leaves and flowers of the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense Rupr.) were analysed by GC, GC-MS and 1 H-NMR spectroscopy. About 80 compounds were identified in each oil. Myrcene (62.3-70.3%) and β β β β β-caryophyllene (6.8-10.5%) dominated in the oils from unripe and ripe fruits. The leaf oil contained β β β β β-elemol (18.5%) and (Z)-β β β β β-ocimene (12.6%) as the main constituents, whereas in the flower oil these were (Z)-β β β β β-ocimene (9.5%), β β β β β-elemol (9.4%), myrcene (7.8%) and nonacosane (7.7%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
