Abstract

The roots of Decalepis hamiltonii and Hemidesmus indicus are aromatic and possess the crystalline compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde as the major compound (> 90%) in their volatile oils. A gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the assay of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde in both fresh and dried roots of different origin. Benzyl butyrate was used as the internal standard. Among the methods tried, steam hydrodistillation was suitable for extraction of the volatile oils. The quantity of this aromatic compound varied from 0.03 to 0.54%.

Study Snapshot

The roots of Decalepis hamiltonii and Hemidesmus indicus contain between 0.03 and 0.54% of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, making them aromatic and potentially useful for pharmaceutical applications.
