Determination of Biomedicine Resource Recovery of Benzene/Ethanol Extractives of Santalum Album L. Shoots by Py-GC/MS

As the most expensive wood tree, Santalum album L. has been planted more than 1000 mu in South China now. A mass of S. album L. shoots was naturally abandoned and degradable so that the resources were wasted. Therefore, in order to overcome the negative effects, Py-GC/MS was used to analyze the extractives of S. album L. shoots. Relative content of each component was determined by area normalization. The benzene/ethanol extractives contain 64 compounds namely nexadecanoic acid(13.50%), methyl pyrrodizidine-1- carboxylate(7.47%), pyrene,hexadecahydro-(7.03%), 4- pyrimidinamine,2-(ethylthio)- (6.29%), octadecanoic acid(3.53%), l-docosene(3.52%), germanicol(3.39%), 9,12- octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- (3.13%), glycerin(3.13%), carbon dioxide(2.82%), oleic Acid(2.70%), ergosta-4,6,22-trien-3.beta.- ol(2.68%), brucine(2.61%), docosanoic acid(2.39%), butylated Hydroxyanisole(2.13%), lH-imidazole, 4,5-dihydro-2-phenyl- (2.11%), vinyl Ether(2.08%), etc. So the rare medicinal materials and rare spice is riched in the extractives of S. album L. shoots. The byproducts can be used as not only top grade cosmetics and skin care, but also bioenergy.
