Chi, Yunyang published the artcileChemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oil of Chinese Propolis, Name: Benzyl acetate, the main research area is propolis essential oil antioxidant; antioxidant activity; bioactive compounds; essential oil; flavors and fragrances; propolis.
The chem. composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil of propolis (EOP) collected from 25 locations in China was investigated. Steam-distillation extraction was used to extract the EOP, and chem. composition was identified by GC/MS. The antioxidant activities of EOP were also measured. The result showed that a total of 406 compounds were detected in EOP. The major compounds of Chinese EOP were cedrol, γ-eudesmol, benzyl alc., phenethyl alc., 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, 3,4-dimethoxystyrene and guaiol. Principal component anal. revealed the significant correlation between EOP compositions and their origins, and certain correlation was detected between EOP and their color. Linear discriminant anal. showed that 88% and 84% of the propolis samples were predicted correctly as the groupings identified by climatic zone and the color, resp. Furthermore, the differences of antioxidant activities of EOP were significant. EOP of Shandong had the strongest antioxidant activities, whereas EOP of Guangdong, Yunnan and Hunan showed the poorest.
Chemistry & Biodiversity published new progress about Antioxidants. 140-11-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Benzyl acetate, and the molecular formula is C9H10O2, Name: Benzyl acetate.
