NOGE, Koji; LAWRENCE VENABLE, D. e BECERRA, Judith X.. 2-Phenylethanol in the leaves of Bursera velutina Bullock (Burseraceae). Act. Bot. Mex [online]. 2011, n.97, pp.9-16. ISSN 2448-7589.
The volatile composition of the leaves of Bursera velutina Bullock (Burseraceae) was determined by a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). the major component found was 2-phenylethanol (29.5%). This is the first report of 2-phenylethanol in the leaves of a species of the genus Bursera. in addition, B. velutina also produces monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes and alkanes, making it a species with one of the most complex chemical compositions in the genus. this diverse and unique blend of compounds may play an important role in plant defense against its herbivores.
