Abstract

ABSTRACT The leaf oil of the Florida torreya, Torreya taxifolia, an endangered species, which was obtained by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Although 24 components were identified in the oil, it was found to be hydrocarbon-rich with limonene (40.78%), α-pinene (7.59%), (E)-β-farnesene (6.16%), and δ-cadinene (6.60%) being in greatest abundance.
