The essential oil from aerial parts of Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb. (syn. Z. armatum DC., Z. planispinium Sieb. et Zucc.) collected in north-west India contains 33% of monoterpene hydrocarbons. The main constituents are 1,8-cineole (15.7%, 18), linalol (18.8%, 28) and undecan-2-one (17.0%, 60). Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
