The volatile fraction of the leaves of Betula glandulosaICHX. has been investigated for its secondary metabolite composition by GC/MS and GC/FID. The rapid expansion of this shrub species in subarctic landscapes, like the ones found in Nunavik (Northern Quebec, Canada), highly impacts ecosystem dynamics. Yet, despite its abundance, few phytochem. investigations have yet been conducted on this species. In this study, we present the first phytochem. investigation of the volatile metabolites of B. glandulosa leaves. Although no essential oil was isolated, volatile compounds were extracted from the hydrosol by steam distillation The main metabolites observed were linalool (14.6-19.0 %), C6 oxylipins (known as green leaf volatiles, GLV; total of 18.2-40.2 %), eugenol (1.6-8.6 %) and 浼?terpineol (3.3-4.8 %). Dwarf birch is an important food source for insects and herbivores, so knowledge of its metabolite composition could help understand parts of its functional role in subarctic ecosystems. The composition of the volatile fraction could serve as marker for differentiating B. glandulosa from other dwarf birch species like Betula nana L. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (cas: 118-61-6Recommanded Product: 118-61-6).
Ethyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (cas: 118-61-6) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is 绾?valerolactone.Recommanded Product: 118-61-6
