Constituent Characteristic and Biomedical Potentials of Organic Essential Oils from Leaves of Four Eucalyptus Cultivars in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several Eucalyptus cultivars has been introduced and cultivated for millions of hectares afforestation in subtropical China, whose woods were mainly used in papermaking industry and whose water essential oils were used mainly in aroma and medical industry. However, the potential biomedical components of organic essential oils were still uncovered. In order to reveal constituent characteristic and biomedical potentials of organic essential oils from leaves of four Eucalyptus cultivars (E. camaldulensis, E. tereticornis, E. citriodora and E. dunnii) in China, their components were efficiently extracted by improved solvents extracting condition, which were identified by optimal gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The functional analytical results suggested that these four Eucalyptus cultivars possess large numbers of common components, especially including Eucalyptol, 1-Eicosanol, (+)-Longifolene, (+)-Aromadendrene, Phytol and (-)-Alloaromadendrene, which are good materials for aroma and biomedical industry. The contents of common components of four Eucalyptus cultivars are as high as 68.97%, 81.81%, 60.64% and 64.29%, respectively. Moreover, each Eucalyptus organic essential oil also has specific components with potentials in aroma industry or biomedical industry.
