Volatile Components of Cleistopholis patens.
Volatile oils of the leaves, fruits and stem-bark of CLEISTOPHOLIS PATENTS Engl. et Diels. (Annonacae) were analysed by means of gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of sixty-one components were identified; qualitative and quantitative differences in the oil composition were observed. The leaf oil contained ( E)-beta-ocimene (31%) as the main constituent, the fruit oil linalool, ( E)- and ( Z)-linalool oxides (58%). The main components in the stem-bark oil were myrcene, P-cymene, and germacrene D.
