AUTHOR(S): William N Setzer, Prabodh Satyal, Ambika Poudel and Kathy Swor
ABSTRACT:The aerial parts of Lysichiton americanus were collected from plants growing in a bog near the Oregon (USA) coast. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation (1.75-4.14% yield) and analyzed by gas chromatography. The major component classes were n-alkanes (11.4-42.1%), oxygenated sesquiterpenoids (12.8-17.2%), diterpenoids (7.6-16.9%), and oxygenated monoterpenoids (2.0-23.6%). Lactonitrile was also abundant (up to 11.9%). This is the first report on the essential oil composition of L. americanus.
