Abstract

Cinnamomum camphora was an woody medicinal plant containing many valuable active ingredients. However, the rich extractives from its leaves were invariably wasted for unclear chemical composition. To further utilize these resources, the three extractives were obtained, and analyzed by GC-MS. The three extractives contained 3, 11 and 3 components, respectively. The three extractives were suitable for the extraction of 1,5-hexadien-3-yne.. Furthermore, the extractives contained many active groups. It therefore suggested that the extractives could be used as biomedicines, antibacterial substances, etc.

Keywords
