Abstract

Hydrodistilled leaf oils of Pistacia chinensis Bunge from five locations in China were analyzed using GC/MS. A total of 58 compounds was identified in the oils, and a relatively high variation in their contents was found. The major compounds include β-phellandrene (0.54-53.86%), α-pinene (4.74-54.44%), β-pinene (0.49-42.90%), caryophyllene (5.64-20.01%), cis-ocimene (tr-43.93%), eudesmadiene (0-15.06%), and camphene (tr-20.57%). Cluster analysis classified the leaf oils into two chemotypes: one rich in α-pinene and β-pinene, and the other rich in β-phellandrene. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
