Article Synopsis
- Three rare Australian endemic species of Darwinia had their essential oils extracted and analyzed using hydrodistillation and gas chromatography techniques.
- The essential oil of D. procera featured compounds like myrtenyl acetate, alpha-pinene, and (E)-nerolidol as its main components.
- D. fascicularis and D. peduncularis also displayed distinct dominant compounds, with D. fascicularis being rich in (E)-nerolidol and alpha-pinene, while D. peduncularis was primarily composed of alpha-pinene and gamma-terpinene.
Measurements were made of the quantity and composition of the steam-volatile essential oils in gastrointestinal tract contents of greater gliders fedEucalyptus radiata foliage and brushtail possums fedE. melliodora foliage. In both species, there was less oil in the stomach contents than in an equivalent mass of foliage.
