Analysis of compounds in dichloromethane extractives for Sawara Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera) outer heartwood

Abstract

The chemical components of dichloromethane extractives for Sawara Falsecypress heartwood were analyzed with GC/MS except for basic chemical composition analysis for heartwood with Chinese standard method. 14 kinds of compounds were identified according to the computer compounds library data. The major compounds in dichloromethane extractives comprised of terpene and naphthalene derivatives. The experiments of antifungal effects of the dichloromethane extractive on Aspergillus niger were also carried out. The result showed that the dichloromethane extractive from Sawara Falsecypress has no or weak antifungal capability.
