Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The steam volatiles obtained from the fresh and dried needles of Taxus baccata (Taxaceae), collected from Turkey after enzymatic hydrolysis, were analyzed by GC/MS. Sixty-three compounds representing 88.6% of the oil obtained from the fresh needles were identified. Hexadecanoic acid (19.6%) and decanoic acid (19.5%) were the most abundant components in these oils. Sixty-five components representing 86.6% of the oil from the dried needles were characterized, with hexadecanoic acid (22.5%) and decanoic acid (12.6%) being the major components.
