Essential oil composition of Syzygium aromaticum leaf from Little Andaman, India

Abstract: The cloves are grown as plantation crops in the agroclimatic conditions of the Indian island of Little Andaman. The dried leaves, on hydrodistillation, gave 4.8% of the oil. GC and GC-MS analysis of the oil resulted in the identification of 16 compounds. The major compound was eugenol (94.4%) followed byˇ-caryophyllene (2.9%). The clove oil from Little Andaman was found to be comparable with the best oil produced in south India in terms of its eugenol content. It is suggested that clove can be grown as an econ… Show more

“…Other works carried out on the leaf essential oils of S. aromaticum show the variability of content of the major constituents. In the essential oils studied by Raina et al [21] and Srivastava et al [20], the principal constituent was eugenol (94.4 vs 82%, respectively), followed by β-caryophyllene (2.9 vs 13%), -humulene (0.3 vs 1.5%) and eugenyl acetate (0 vs 0.4%). Finally, little literature describes the chemical composition of clove stem essential oils.…”

“…It is interesting to note that eugenyl acetate was present in substantial quantity (0.4%) in the oil from Madagascar, while this constituent was either absent or present only in traces in the leaf oil from Indonesia. Similarly, leaf oil from Little Andaman [21] was quite different from those from Indonesia [2] in respect to its eugenol (94.4 vs 71.0%), β-caryophyllene (2.9 vs 14.0%) and α-humulene (0.36 vs 1.75%) contents, respectively. On the other hand, leaf oils from Little Andaman [21] matched to a great extent with the leaf oil from south India reported by Gopalakrishnan et al [30] in its eugenol content (94.4 and 95.2%).…”

“…Como representante da família Myrtaceae está o cravo--da-índia (S. aromaticum), uma possibilidade de ser utilizado com propriedades moluscicidas, sendo que a gema floral seca do cravo-da-índia é usada principalmente como condimento na culinária, devido ao seu aroma e sabor marcantes, conferido por um composto fenólico volátil, o eugenol (Raina et al, 2001;Oliveira et al, 2007;Agra et al, 2008). Segundo GobboNeto; Lopes (2008) e Oliveira et al (2008), o eugenol pode ser utilizado como anti-inflamatório, anestésico, antisséptico, antioxidante, alelopático e repelente.…”

“…Exceto os dados (2000) e Walker & Melin (1996) sobre o efeito de eugenol em nematóides de plantas, não são de nosso conhecimento outros trabalhos nessa linha de estudo. Logo, seria interessante investigar o efeito alelopático do eugenol depositado no solo pela queda e lavagem das folhas do craveiro, uma vez que essas apresentam grande concentração desse fenol (Raina et al 2001). Da mesma maneira, seria interessante estudar se esse fenol volátil tem alguma importância protetora contra o ataque de insetos, uma vez que é conhecida popularmente a recomendação de se colocarem cravos em açucareiros para evitar formigas.…”

“…Nas folhas ele chega a representar aproximadamente 95% do óleo extraído (Raina et al 2001) e no cravo também é o principal componente do óleo, variando de 70 a 85% (Brown & Morra 1995, Brown et al 1991, Ortiz 1992. Outros componentes dessa fração são acetato de eugenol (15%) e β-cariofileno (5 a 12%), que juntos com eugenol somam 99% do óleo.…”
