    The flower volatile constituents of Plumeria rubra L. grown in foothills of north India were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Altogether 31 constituents, representing 94.0% of flower essential oil and 89.2% of steam volatile extract were identified. Benzyl esters (49.0%, 41.4%), aliphatic alkanes (25.8%, 7.2%), oxygenated monoterpenes (0.1%, 27.1%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (9.5%, 8.8%), and diterpene (9.4%, 0.2%), were the major class of constituents. Benzyl salicylate (26.7%, 33.5%), benzyl benzoate (22.3%, 7.9%), geraniol (trace, 17.2%), (E,E)-geranyl linalool (9.4%, 0.2%), tricosane (8.3%, 1.1%), linalool (0.1%, 8.0%), nonadecane (7.0%, 3.8%), (E)-nerolidol (7.0%, 5.5%), and pentacosane (4.4%, 0.3%) were the major constituents identified in flower oil and hydrodistilled volatile distillate. Results were compared with reported floral compositio.. View More»
