Abstract

The leaf oil of Cinnamomum chemungianum obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS and found to contain 41 constituents, of which 31 constituents comprising 85.7% were identified. The major constituents were the sesquiterpenoids β-selinene (21.0%), intermedeol (13.5%), longiborneol (7.1%) and caryophyllene oxide (6.4%). Antibacterial screening of the oil showed moderate activity against certain strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
