FROM Vietnam - A NEW NATURAL SOURCE OF SAFROLE HA THI THANH HAI a CHU THI THANH LAM a TRAN DINH THANG b NGUyEN XUAN DUNG c Abstract. The volatile components of the fruit oil of Michelia sp. from Nghean province were analysed by Capillary Gas chromatograph GC and Gas chromatograph Mass spectroscopy GC MS as well as by background subtraction of coeluting compounds. A total 33 compounds were identified of which the major component was safrole . The lesser amount were limonene and linalool . This result shows that Michelia sp. from Nghe an as a new source of safrole. 1.
