Szymanski, Marcin published the artcileComparison of the Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oils from the Leaves and Flowers of Sambucus nigra, Safety of Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is antioxidant essential oil leaf flower Sambucus.
Essential oils of Sambucus nigra were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed using the GC-MS technique, which led to the identification and quantification of 66 components from the leaves and 74 components from the flowers, accounting for 94.0 and 96.4% of the total components, resp. The main class of compounds present in the leaves were fatty acids and their derivatives: Me linoleate, palmitic acid, hydrocarbon tritetracontane, and an aromatic compound benzoic aldehyde. In the flowers there were hydrocarbons: tritetracontane and n-hexatriacontane, fatty acids and their derivatives: palmitic acid and linoleic acid, and alcs.: 2-methyl-3,15-octadecadienol and 2-hexyl-1-octanol. Among the dominant components of the essential oil of S. nigra flowers, there were also monoterpenes such as rose oxide, epoxylinalol, while the essential oil of the leaves contained a few compounds of monoterpenes in small amounts such as β-pinene and α-pinene. Antioxidant activity of the obtained essential oils was determined by the FRAP and DPPH assay techniques.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal published new progress about Antioxidants. 929-77-1 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl docosanoate, and the molecular formula is C23H46O2, Safety of Methyl docosanoate.
