Abstract

The compositions of the essential oil from woods of Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc. (ume), have been investigated by capillary GC and GC/MS. The oil was found to contain 97 components, representing 92.41% of the total oil. The main constituents were 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (15.83%), α-acorenol (9.36%), (Z)-α-bisabolene (7.49%), benzaldehyde (3.87%), isopropyltiglate (3.84%), terpinen-4-ol (3.41%).
