Talukdar, Abhijit published the artcileGas chromatography- mass spectrometric analysis of the essential oil of eaglewood (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb), Category: bromides-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Aquilaria essential oil furanoid aldehyde ketone alc acid.
Objective: The investigation was carried out to study the phytochem. constituents of agar oil of Aquilaria agallocha grown in Assam. Methods: Fungal infected agar laden wooden chips grown in Assam were soaked in water for 6 to 7 days and grounded into smaller pieces and hydro distilled to obtain the oil. 2 μL of the oil sample diluted in methanol was used for GC/MS anal. to study the chem. constituents. Results: GC-MS anal. of the oil has shown the presence of at least 35 different compounds, out of which 17 compounds were identified. Three furanoids viz. 3 methyl-2-(2 methyl-2-butenyl)-furan; 2-isobuteyl-3 Me furan and 3-methyl-2-(2-oxopropyl)furan were identified as the main aromatic components of the oil. Besides these, some acids, ketones alc. and aldehydes were also identified and reported here. Conclusion: Variation in the quality of the oil has been observed depending upon geog. region on which the trees are grown, age of the plant and extent of disease lesions formed in the wood, which was evident by studying the phytochem. constituents of the oil.
