Volatile Constituents of Halimodendron halodendron Voss. Growing in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The leaf and seed volatile compounds of Halimodendron halodendron Voss were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS method: 51 compounds from leaves and 42 compounds from seeds of H. halodendron were identified. The main components of leaf volatile compounds were phytol (11.7 %), linalool (11.0 %), β-E-damascenone (7.8 %), α-terpineol (6.5 %), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (4.7 %). The main components of seed volatile compounds were hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (10.7 %), squalene (9.3 %), phytol (4.2 %), β-ionone (3.7%).
