Chemical composition of essential oil of Machilus Japonica Siebold & Zucc.
(Lauraceae) from Vietnam were studied. The essential oil were obtained from the leaves of young plants (3-4 years) by hydrodistillation. The identification of the components was performed using GC, GC/MS. The main components in this species identified were α-phellandrene (60.2%), β-
phellandrene (10.5%), p-cymene (20.3%), β-myrcene (3.7%), terpineole (0.9%), trans-β-ocimene (0.7%), 11-dodecenol (0.3), β-Caryophyllene (0,5%). This result were not reported in any of previously investigated species of Lauraceae family in Vietnam. This was a new species of Lauraceae family in Vietnam. The name of this species w...
