The volatile components of the aerial parts of Saccocalyx satureioides Coss et Durieu, obtained by hydrodistillation, have been analysed by GC and GC-MS. Forty-one components have been fully identified and grouped into three classes, namely monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The oxygenated monoterpenes, with 76.9%, was the most represented class, a-terpineol (32.7%), thymol (22.8%), borneol (11.6%) and carvacrol (6.9%) being the main components. p-Cymene (5.0%), camphene (2.9%), gamma-terpinene (2.8%), alpha-pinene (1.8%) and limonene (1.5%) were the more significant monoterpene hydrocarbons. The concentration of sesquiterpenes was lower than 3%.

Abstract
The volatile components of the aerial parts of Saccocalyx satureioides Coss et Durieu, obtained by hydrodistillation, have been analysed by GC and GC-MS. Forty-one components have been fully identified and grouped into three classes, namely monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The oxygenated monoterpenes, with 76.9%, was the most represented class, a-terpineol (32.7%), thymol (22.8%), borneol (11.6%) and carvacrol (6.9%) being the main components. p-Cymene (5.0%), camphene (2.9%), gamma-terpinene (2.8%), alpha-pinene (1.8%) and limonene (1.5%) were the more significant monoterpene hydrocarbons. The concentration of sesquiterpenes was lower than 3%.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
