Abstract

Today, with the development of science and technology, products using chemical-based fragrance, medicine have become increasingly popular, raising concerns about potential impacts human health. This study aimed to extract essential oils from native bamboo leaves (Bambusa vulgaris). In addition, the study identified the biological compounds in essential oils and preliminary assessed the total terpenoid content in the samples, using α-ionone as a standard solution for the determination procedure. The essential oil content was 19.50 ± 6.2 mg/100 g. The bamboo leaf essential oil extracted from the fine grinding samples exhibited antioxidant activity against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). Total silicate of the bamboo’s hydrosol was 0.81 mg/L. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which identified a total of eight compounds. The components in essential oil were α-ionone, trans-β-ionone, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone, farnesyl acetone, n-hexadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, phytol, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid. The total terpenoid content was 0.06% in the finely grinded samples.

Keywords: α-ionone, Bamboo, Bambusa vulgaris, Hydro-distillation, Terpenoid
