Microdistillation as a Useful Tool for the Analysis of Minute Amounts of Aromatic Plant Materials

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The MicroDistiller (Eppendorf), enables the distillation of aromatic material even in very small quantities. Using the simple microdistillation technique, minute amounts ofCyclotrichium leucotrichum(Stapf ex Rech. fil.) Leblebici andC. stamineum(Boiss. and Hohen.) Manden. and Scheng. were investigated for their volatiles by GC/MS. The main constituents were identified asβ-caryophyllene (14%), camphor (12%), andp-menth-3-en-8-ol (11%) forC. leucotrichum, and pinocamphone (33%), isopinocamphone (13%), and myrtenyl acetate (9%) forC. stamineum.
