MARCANO-PACHECO, Enid et al. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WOOD ESSENTIAL OIL OF Aniba cinnamomiflora C. K. Allen FROM VENEZUELAN ANDES. Colomb. for. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.2, pp.233-238. ISSN 0120-0739.  https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.colomb.for.2016.2.a08.

Aniba cinnamomiflora C. K. Allen is a tree species of Lauraceae family that produces essential oil. A study on the hydrodistillation product of wood pieces from branches of Aniba cinnamomiflora is presented. A 0.05% of essential oil was obtained. The essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography and Mass spectrometry. Fifteen compounds were identified (98.55%) of the total retrieved. The major component (54.00%) corresponds to the lipid γ-palmitolactone, followed by 1-epi-cubenol (9.56%), δ-cadinene (6.05%), t-cadinol (5.00%), and chamazulene (3.53%). This is the first study on the wood essential oil of Aniba cinnamomiflora.

Keywords : hydrodistillation; Lauraceae; γ-palmitolactone.
