ABSTRACT: In this paper, compounds identified in the essential
oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves of Cinnamomum glaucescens (Nees) Hand.-Mazz and Cinnamomum verum J.S. Presl (Lauraceae
family) of Vietnam origin are reported. The chemical analyses were performed
using gas chromatography-flame ionisation
detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry
(GC-MS). The significant compounds of C.
glaucescens were geraniol (36.2%) and terpinen-4-ol (19.7%). On the other
hand, C. verum comprised of linalool
(22.0%) and bicyclogermacrene (11.2%). The present results may represent new
chemotypes of the essential oils of C.
verum and C. glaucescens.
