AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed volatile compounds from the leaves of the Madagascar endemic plant Vepris madagascarica using various chemical techniques like GC, GC-MS, and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
- The main component identified in the oil samples was (E)-anethole, comprising about 78% of the composition, followed by estragole.
- The trunk bark oil also featured (E)-anethole as its primary component (84.6%), along with smaller amounts of sesquiterpenes.
Article Abstract
The volatile components isolated from leaves of Vepris madagascarica (Baillon) H. Perier (Rutaceae), an endemic species of north-eastern, sub-humid forests of Madagascar, were investigated by GC (Retention Indices), GC-MS and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Oil samples obtained on laboratory and industrial scales exhibited similar composition, dominated by phenylpropanoids. (E)-anethole (78.2% and 78.6%) was the major component followed by estragole (15.6% and 15.4%). In addition, trunk bark oil also contained (E)-anethole as its major component (84.6%), as well as various sesquiterpenes in low contents.
