Volatiles from Leaves and Rhizomes of Fragrant Acorus spp. (Acoraceae)
Copyright policy )Volatiles from Leaves and Rhizomes of Fragrant Acorus spp. (Acoraceae)
AbstractThree horticultural selections of Acorus gramineus Soland were investigated to determine the chemical composition of their leaves and rhizomes. The variety ‘liquorice’ was found to contain methylchavicol (49%) which accounts for the unusual anisic odor of this variety, while β‐asarone was the main component of A. christophii (43%) and ‘yodo‐no‐yuki’ (20%). The results are compared with calamus oils, and the possible biosynthetic precursors of the main components methylchavicol and β‐asarone are considered.
