Abstract


The medicinally important genus Garcinia is widespread in the Western Ghats and the Northeast Regions of India. Three accessions of Garcinia pushpangadaniana from two populations were studied during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. Dried leaves were subjected to hydro-distillation to extract essential oil and chemical composition of the essential oils were determined using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. (E)-Caryophyllene was the major compound with 14.05%, 18.96%, and 15.60% in all three accessions respectively. Sesquiterpene compounds with cadinene-type skeleton were found to be the key compounds in G. pushpangadaniana, making up 47.65–49.67% of the EO. These include δ-cadinene (12.79–14.38%), γ-muurolene (9.56–9.87%) and γ-cadinene (5.93–6.94%). The compounds such as spirolepechinene, α-calacorene, α-corocalene, caryophylla-4(12),8(13)-dien-5-ol and cadalene are identified as unique compounds in G. pushpangadaniana essential oil, and these marker compounds can be used for the authentication of this species.
