VOLATILE CONSTITUENTS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF ESSENTIAL OIL FROM Securidaca longepedunculata Fers. GROWING IN BENIN

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of roots bark of Securidacaca longepedunculata Fers. (Polygalaceae) growing in Savalou, Biguinan and Gbegrou (Benin) were analyzed using capillary GC and GC/MS. Seven compounds representing (99.5%; 99.1%; 99.3%) respectively of the oils were identified...

Description
Summary:The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of roots bark of Securidacaca longepedunculata Fers. (Polygalaceae) growing in Savalou, Biguinan and Gbegrou (Benin) were analyzed using capillary GC and GC/MS. Seven compounds representing (99.5%; 99.1%; 99.3%) respectively of the oils were identified. The major compound was found to be methyl salicylate respectively (98.0%; 98.6%; 98.7%). The antimicrobial activity of these oils was found to be high, and medium antiradical activity was observed.
