Abstract
Head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was adopted to gather volatile organic compounds emitted from the flower of Luculia gratissima (Wallich) Sweet. Gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed for the analysis of the characteristics of the volatile component profile. The inflorescence of L. gratissima is a terminal umbel of tubular ended white or pink flowers with 5 spreading petals. A total of 20 compounds were identified, representing 99 % of the entire amount. The major components were γ-muurolene (46.3 %), 3-carene (23.5 %) and trans-isoeugenol (14.4 %), and they were found to make a principal contribution to the volatile compounds of this flower. It is suggested that L. gratissima would be fully qualified as a delightfully fragrant houseplant.
