Determination of Bioactive Components of Acetone Extractives of Cinnamomum camphora Root Wood by Py-GC/MS under 350°C

Py-GC/MS technology was used to analyze the high-grade resource recovering approaches of C. camphora root wood at 350°C. The result showed that the chemical components of acetone extractives from C. camphora root wood are as: Benzene, 1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- (10.255%), Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7-trimethyl-, (1R)- (7.751%), p-menth-1-en-8-ol (5.765%), Phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- (3.833%), 1,6-Cyclodecadiene, 1-methyl-5-methylene-8- (1-methylethyl)-, [s-(E,E)]- (3.669%), D-Allose (3.265%), Acetic acid (2.784%), 1(2H)-Naphthalenone, octahydro-8a-hydroxy- (2.719%), 1,3-Benzodioxole, 4-methoxy-6- (2-propenyl)- (2.674%), .beta.(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)propionic acid (2.216%), Phenol, 4-methyl- (2.200%), Phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy- (2.138%), 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl acetone (2.125%), 5-Hepten-2-one, 6-methyl- (2.075%), 2-Oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-6-ol, 1,3,3-trimethyl- (1.808%), Phenol, 2-methoxy-3-(2-propenyl)- (1.688%), etc. The analytical result by 350°C-based Py-GC/MS showed that the 350°C pyrolyzate of acetone extractives from C. camphora root wood can be used as top value-added materials of biomedicine, but also used as the bioactive materials of bioenergy, cosmetic, food, and other industrial solvents.
