Chemical composition of essential oil from the seed Arils of Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Koern from South Africa. Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants. Vol 17 (6) : 1373-13770976-5026http://hdl.handle.net/10321/1444The essential oil components of arils from seeds of Strelitzia nicolai were investigated by GC and GC-MS. The oil yields of dried arils obtained by hydrodistillation were 0.86 %. Twenty-five compounds representing 94.2 % of the S. nicolai aril oil were identified. The main chemical constituents belongs to alcohols (1.24 %), amides (3.14 %), amine (31.75 %), aromatic compounds (4.86 %), esters (0.65 %), ethers (28.18 %), hydrocarbons (5.13 %) and ketones (19.30 %).6 penEssential oilGC-MSChemical compositionStrelitzia nicolaiArticle
