Volatiles from Steam-distilled Leaves of Some Plant Species from Madagascar and New Zealand and Evaluation of Their Biological Activity

摘要

Steam-distilled aerial parts of Ravensara aromatica and Cinnamomum camphora from Madagascar and Leptospermum scoparium from New Zealand have been subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis by means of GC techniques This allowed the elucidation of conflicting data present in the available literature for these species Also, the biological activity in vitro was evaluated by measuring MICs and GIZs
