Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

The essential oils obtained from leaves and roots of Aralia cachemirica were analyzed by capillary GC and GC-MS . A total of 25 constituents, representing 9.14 % in leaf essential oil and 26 components, representing 96.5% in root essential oil were identified. Both leaf and root oils were characterized by the presence of α-pinene (41.0%, 52.7%) and β-pinene (35.1%, 13.6%) as the major constituents. Other constituents identified in significant amount were b -caryophyllene, terpinen-4-ol, myrtenol and borneol.
