Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents of essential oil from the leaves and flowers of Pittosporum tobira Ait in Guangxi. Method: The essential oils were extracted by steam distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. The relative content was determined by area normalization. Result: Ten compounds were identified
which accounted for over 100% of the leaves essential oils. The main constituents were viridiflorol (40.09%)
hexadecane (15.13%). 6 compounds were identified
which accounted for 100% of the flowers essential oils. The main constituents were viridiflorol (60.33%)
4-methoxy-6-(2-propenyl)-1
3-benzodioxole (17.40%)
ledol (5.69%). Conclusion: The main constituents of essential oil from the leaves and flowers of P. tobira in Guangxi is viridiflorol.
