Abstract
Abstract The essential oils from the flowers, leaves and fruits of Amorpha fruticosa L. were investigated by GC, GC/MS and 1H-,13C-NMR spectroscopy. About 70 constituents were identified in each oil. The major components of the flower oil were α-eudesmol (15.8%), β-eudesmol (7.8%), δ-cadinene (6.2%) and (E)-nerolidol (6.1%). The leaf oil contained mainly α-eudesmol (13.9%), (E)-β-ocimene (11.9%), and α-pinene (11.8%). In the ripe fruit oil α-pinene (19.3-19.6%), myrcene (17.7-18.7%) and δ-cadinene (6.2-6.9%) dominated.
