Composition and Antifungal Activities of the Leaf Essential oil of Litsea Coreana from Taiwan

The hydrodistilled leaf essential oil of Litsea coreana was analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. Fifty-two compounds were identified, the main components being n-decanal (27.5%), 2E,6E-farnesol (25.8%), β-eudesmol (10.3%), ethyl n-dodecanoate (8.0%) and τ-cadinol (6.6%). Oxygenated sesquiterpenes (56.8%) a...

Zusammenfassung:The hydrodistilled leaf essential oil of Litsea coreana was analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. Fifty-two compounds were identified, the main components being n-decanal (27.5%), 2E,6E-farnesol (25.8%), β-eudesmol (10.3%), ethyl n-dodecanoate (8.0%) and τ-cadinol (6.6%). Oxygenated sesquiterpenes (56.8%) and non-terpenoids (37.0%) were the predominant groups of compounds. The leaf oil exhibited excellent antifungal and anti-wood-decay fungal activities.
