[Studies on the chemical components and antibacterial activity of essential oil from the leaves of Rubus corchorifolius].

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the chemical components of essential oil from the leaves of Rubus corchorifolius.

METHODS

The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation, and then an analysis was conducted by applying GC-MS and Xcalibur Software. K-B filter paper method was used for their bacteriostasish.

RESULTS

44 compounds were identified, accounting for 88.52% of the total essential oil. The volatile oil concentration of 50% had a good bactericidal effect and the concentration of 0.5% still had excellent antibacterial effect.

CONCLUSIONS

It provides the foundation for reasonable utilization and development of the leaves of Rubus corchorifolius.
