Abstract: | Using the method of analytical GLC in a glass capillary column, the compositions have been studied of the volatile fractions of the oleoresins of five species of conifers:Larix decidua,Pinus strobus,Pinus mugo,Picea excelsa, andPinus abies. In the oleoresins 21 monoterpene and 22 sesquiterpene compounds were identified from their relative retention times and with the aid of additives. The main components of the volatile fractions of the oleoresins were - and -pinenes and 3-carene among the monoterpenes, and longifolene caryophyllene, - and -cadinenes and -murolene among the sesquiterpene compounds. The quantitative analysis of the fractions was carried out by the method of internal normalization from averaged correlation coefficients.Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.
