The Components Of The Smoke And Headspace Volatiles From Cryptomeria Japonica D. Don

Abstract

By using headspace technology coupled with GC/MS, the smoke and headspace from Cryptomeria japonica D. Don was studied. While there were characteristic monoterpenoids contained in leaf headspace like sabinene (52.0%) and limonene (10.9%), there were a large number of components in smoke, like, acetic acid (4.3%), toluene (4.4%), limonene (3.1%), elemol (5.1%), α-cadinol (3.2%), hexadecanoic acid (3.2%), and kaur-16-ene (11.3%).
