The extractives of oil-tea cake are considered to have bioactive components, but the extracted residues of oil-tea cake are still not utilized. The analytical result by 450°C-based Pyrolysis-GC/MS showed that 42 peaks were obtained from the 450°C pyrolyzate of benzene/ethanol-extracted residues of oil-tea cake, and 41 compounds representing 97.53% of the total areas were identified. The analytical result revealed that the main components of benzene/ethanol-extracted residues of oil-tea cake by 450°C-based pyrolysis- GC/MS were as: Ethanone, 1-(2-Hydroxy-5-Methylphenyl)- (19.16%), Phenol, 2-Methoxy-6-(2-Propenyl)- (15.24%), Mequinol (14.37%), 2-Cyclohexen-1-One, 4,4,6-Trimethyl- (6.51%), 1,2-Cyclobutanedicarboxylic Acid, Trans- (5.68%), 3-Tert-Butyl-4-Hydroxyanisole (4.92%), Phenol, 2-Methoxy-4-Methyl- (4.33%), Phenol, 4-Ethyl-2-Methoxy- (3.62%), Vanillin (3.59%), Phenol, 2,6-Dimethoxy-4- (2-Propenyl)- (3.17%), N,N-Dimethyl-2-Cyclohexyloxyethylamine (2.94%), 1,3-Cyclopentanedione, 2-Methyl- (2.85%), Eugenol (2.56%), etc. The results of function analyses showed that the benzene/ethanol-extracted residues of oil-tea cake contain abundant components of rare natural medicinal materials, and materials of high-grade spice, cosmetic and food industry.
In order to approach the dormant property of Phoebe bournei seeds, the inhibition effects of the different concentrations and different solvent extraction from seed coats and embryo of Phoebe bournei was studied through bioassay method.The results showed that there were inhibition effects of extracts on the germination and radical growing of cabbage seeds, and the inhibition effects became stronger as the contents of extracting solutions increased.Germination rate of cabbages in seed embryo extracts was lower than that in the seed coat extracts in the same concentrations, and the radical length in the seed embryo extracts was also shorter than that in the seed coat extracts. The seed embryo and coat extractions phase of ethyl acetate on the germination and radical growing of cabbage seeds had the strongest inhibition effect. The results indicated that inhibiting substances were existed both in the seed coats and embryo of Phoebe bournei seeds, and embryo extracts had stronger inhibition effect on the seed germination and radical growing of cabbage seed than the seed coats extracts had, and the inhibiting substances were mainly soluble in the methanol and ethyl acetate.
Phoebe hui is a precious timber tree species. In order to get excellent seedlings and stands with good genes and develop Phoebe hui better, it is necessary to select superior trees. The dominant trees comparative method and small sample plot method were used to evaluate and select Phoebe hui superior trees in Longshan county, Hunan province, and the evaluation factors included diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, timber volume and other quality factors. The results showed that, using the dominant trees comparative method, the DBH, tree height and timber volume values of the superior tree were more than 1.12, 1.06 and 1.23 times of the mean values of 5 dominant trees respectively, and 6 superior trees were selected in two stands. Using small sample plot method, the DBH, tree height and timber volume of the superior tree were more than the mean value and 1 times standard deviation value of the stand, and 4 trees were selected as superior tree. These 2 methods can be used for superior tree selection of Phoebe hui in Hunan, and the dominant trees comparative method is more simple and easier for operation.
Chinese Hackberry (Celtis sinensis) tree has high adaptability to environment and tolerance to water stress, and a long history of utilization and plantation in many countries. However, researches on Chinese Hackberry were mostly focused on the biomass analyses and utilizations of its wood, and lacked those to analyze the chemical components of extractives of Chinese Hackberry leaves, which was very important to recover and utilize the polluting waste Chinese Hackberry leaves. Therefore, the chemical components of benzene/ethanol extractives of Chinese Hackberry leaves were analyzed by method of GC/MS in order to identify top value-added bioactive components from waste leaves of Chinese Hackberry tree. The analytical result showed that the main components of benzene/ethanol extractives of freeze-dried Chinese Hackberry leaves by GC/MS analysis were identified 10 components (106 peaks) as: Sesquirosefuran (48.57%), Thiophene, 2-ethyltetrahydro- (20.01 %), Hexatriacontane (8.67%), Octadecane (8.60%), 1-Eicosanol Pregn-4-en-3-one, 20-hydroxy-, (20R)- (4.52%), 1-Amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthraquinone (3.63%), 1,3-Diphenyl-(4H)1,2,4-triazoline- (1.92%), Tricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane-1-carboxylic acid (1.69%), Eucalyptol (1.60%), etc. As the first report here, our result by GC/MS showed that the benzene-methanol extractive of freeze-dried Chinese Hackberry leaves can be developed into top value-added materials of spicery, biomedicines, and biofuel.
The production of noble Cinnamomum camphora oil from C. camphora leaves and twigs brings a mass of extracting wastewater which is pollutive to water environment. In order to better utilize and recover the productive wastewater from the Eucalyptus oil, we used GC/MS to analyze the possible top value-added components of benzene/ethanol extractives of leaves and twigs of C.camphora. The analytical result showed that only 15 compounds were identified from the benzene/ethanol extractive of C. camphora trigs, and 29 compounds from 30 peaks were identified from the benzene/ethanol extractive of C. camphora leaves. The analytical result showed that the main components of the benzene/ethanol extractive of C. camphora twigs by GC/MS are as: Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7-trimethyl-, (1R)- (36.85%), Linalyl propanoate (23.58%), Eucalyptol (10.07%), 1,3-Benzodioxole, 5-(2-propenyl)- (8.88%), 4,4-dimethylcholest-7-ene-3-ol (5.81%), Cyclopentanol (3.37%), 1,2,4-Cyclopentanetrione, 3-(2-pentenyl)- (2.52%), etc. The result by GC/MS analysis showed that the benzene/ethanol extractive of leaves of C. camphora are as: Eucalyptol (58.51%), 3-Cyclohexene-1-methanol, .alpha.,.alpha.4-trimethyl- (13.98% from two peaks), Sabinene (4.45%), 1-Mercapto-2-heptadecanone (2.69%), Phytol (2.29%), Camphene (1.94%), 1-Eicosanol (1.81%), Caryophyllene (1.63%), 1,3-Benzodioxole, 5,5'-(tetrahydro- 1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan-1,4-diyl)bis-, [1S-(1.alpha.,3a.alpha.,4.beta.,6a.alpha.)]- (1.50%), 1-Penten- 3-ol (1.01%), beta.-Pinene (0.86%), etc. There are many important constituents of rare natural medicine, cosmetic and spicery in the benzene/ethanol extractive of twigs and leaves of C. camphora.
