Abstract
GC/MS analysis of Tremella fuciformis (White jelly mushrooms) oil
Highlights
The five constituent oils from T. fuciformis, their gas chromatogram, spectra and structures are shown in Table and Fig. 1-6 respectively
The four predominant oils identified are 9,19-Cyclolanost-24-en-3-ol, (3.beta.)- with RT of 20.766 and 24.672 min and a percentage total of 32.681, 7-Isopropenyl-1,4a-dimethyl-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-3Hnaphthalen-2-one with RT of 22.425 min and a percentage total of 21.334, Lupeol with RT of 22.825 and 23.230 min and a percentage total of 18.531 and Lanosterol with RT of 21.079 and 23.034 min and a percentage total of 17.845. These four oils represent 90.391% of the total constituent oil in T. fuciformis. 2(1H)Naphthalenone,3,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-4,8a-dimethyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)- was the least compound identified in this mushroom with RT of 22.560 min and a percentage total of 9.609
The GC/MS analysis of the oil from T. fuciformis showed the presence of five compounds
Summary
GC/MS analysis of Tremella fuciformis (White jelly mushrooms) oil Reginald C. 9,19-Cyclolanost-24-en-3-ol, (3.beta.)- was the most predominant with RT of 20.766 and 24.672 min and a percentage total of 32.681 followed by 7-Isopropenyl-1,4a-dimethyl-4,4a,5 ,6,7,8-hexahydro-3H-naphthalen-2-one with RT of 22.425 min and a percentage total of 21.334, lupeol had RT of 22.825 and 23.230 min and a percentage total of 18.531, while lanosterol had RT of 21.079 and 23.034 min and a percentage total of 17.845 These four compounds represent 90.391% of the total constituent compounds in T. fuciformis oil. T. fuciformis is one mushroom that has shown potent medicinal properties both by oral consumption and topical application This mushroom has enjoyed a long dermatological history as a skin tonic for healthy complexion, it’s used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment and management chronic tracheitis, asthma and other cough-related conditions has been reported [4]. This present study is geared towards the determination of possible therapeutic secondary metabolites whose presence may have contributed to some of the medicinal potentials of this mushroom
