Leaf Oils of<i>Psidium parvifolium</i>Griseb. and<i>Psidium cattleianum</i>Sabine from Cuba

Abstract

Abstract The chemical composition of the leaf oils of Psidium parvifolium Griseb. and Psidium cattleianum Sabine were studied by GC and GC/MS. Twenty volatile compounds were identified in P. parvifolium, of which viridiflorol (31.9%) was the major one. Eighteen compounds were identified in P. cattleianum, of which epi-α-muurolol (21.9%), α-cadinol (20.0%), epi-α-cadinol (16.7%) and caryophyllene oxide (13.6%) were major.
