Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Abstract The composition of leaf essential oil of Cinnamomum pauciflorum Nees, growing wild in northeast India, was studied by GC and GC‐MS. Twenty‐five components representing 98.8% of the total oil were identified. Cinnamaldehyde [=(E)‐cinnamaldehyde] was the major component which alone constituted 89.8% of the oil. Other components above 1% concentration in the oil are linalool (2.6), (Z)‐cinnamaldehyde (1.2) and α‐pinene (1.0). Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
