Abstract:

In order to avoid the great resource waste due to the discard of Santalum album L. leaves, the Py-GC/ MS was employed to analyze the extractives from Santalum album L. leaves. The results indicate that there are 118 compounds in the benzene/ethanol extraetives from Santalum album L. leaves, including 16-hentriacontanone (8.69%), 11, 14, 17-eicosatrienoic acid methyl ester ( 8.49% ), hexadecanoie acid ( 5.38% ), pyrazine (4.01%), eyclooctacosane (3.89%), phenol (3.19%), etc. , and that there are 48 compounds in the acetone extractives, including lupan-3-ketone ( 39.35% ) , taraxasterol (7.60%) , β-sitosterol (5.38%) , taraxerol (3.42%), acetaldehyde (2.37%) and androstan-6-ketone-(5α) (2.36%), etc. It is thus concluded that the extraetives from Santalum album L. leaves contain rare medicinal materials and rare spices, and that the extraction by-products can be used as not only top-grade cosmetics but also biological energy.
