Abstract:

Dried flower buds of M. soulangeana, M. amoena, M. biondii, and M. denudata were used as materials to extract their volatile oil components using the steam distillation method. GC-MS was applied to determine and compare their constituents. The results revealed that there were a total of 140 substances in the volatile oils of the four Magnolia species, with M. soulangeana having the most of 86 and M. amoena having the least of only 63. Terpenoids were the most abundant substances, with 48, 33, 42, and 40 types in M. soulangeana, M. amoena, M. biondii, and M. denudata, respectively. Totally 27 substances were common to all four species, including alcohols such as eucalyptol, β-terpineol, and δ-pinanol, as well as terpenoids such as β-caryophyllene, cadinene, and myristicin. This study provides a foundation for the development and utilization of medicinal ingredients from Magnolia species in the future.
