Study on volatile components from different parts of Jatropha curcas in Yuanyang of Yunnan Province
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: In the paper,the volatile components of leaves,barks and seeds of Jatropha curcas from Yuanyang of Yunnan Province was extracted with anhydrous ethanol by continuous thermal reflux.53,58,13 peaks were separated from leaves,bark and seeds of Jatropha curcas after detected by GC-MS.Among them,28,32 and 10 compounds taken up 79.2%,75.4% and 97.47% of total peak areas were identified.The results indicated that the volatiles from Jatropha curcas were consisted of those compounds including ketones,aldehyde,esters,terpenoids,sterol,fatty acid,alkane,alkene,aromatics,which has provided theoretical basis for developing and making use of Jatropha curcas.The method was effective that extracted volatile components of plant with ethanol by continuous thermal reflux.There was evident difference between the reflux extract of chemical composition and the relative content of different parts of Jatropha curca.The leaves and barks were rich in phytosterols and triterpenes.Leaves were rich in Phytol and two kinds of natural Vitamin E which would be of great value in utilization.
