The floral essential oil composition of Albizia julibrissin growing in Northern Alabama

Abstract

The floral essential oil of Albizia julibrissin, “silktree”, growing in Huntsville, Alabama, was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. The oil was dominated by palmitic acid (23.3%), trans-linalool oxide (both furanoid and pyranoid forms, 6.6% and 7.0%, respectively), pentacosane (7.2%), methyl salicylate (6.2%), eugenol (6.1%), and 1-octanol (5.2%).
