Aroma chemical composition of Piper guineense Schumach. & Thonn. From Lagos, Nigeria: a new chemotype
American Journal of Essential Oils and Natural Products · 2013 · Vol. 1(1) · pp. 37–40
Abstract
The essential oil from the bruit (berries) of Piper guineense (Piperaceae) from Lagos, Nigeria, was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 64 compounds were identified in the fruit oil accounting for 99.0% of the composition. The oil was dominated by linalool (52.2%), defining a new chemotype for this plant species. A numerical cluster analysis has revealed, in addition to the linalool chemotype, at least five other chemotypes of Piper guineense
