Utilization of Cinnamomum Camphora Leaves as a Renewable Energy Source
Author(s): Everett Meijer*
Cinnamomum camphora is an evergreen tree that originates from China and is common in some Asian countries. Its leaves are rich in biologically active compounds and its medicinal effects are well known. A powerful method to extract and preserve biologically active substances is important for downstream applications such as bioenergy and chemicals. During this study, the metabolic profiles of Cinnamomum. After extraction with three different solvents, ethanol, benzene and acetone, the camphors were analyzed in detail by IR-Fourier and GC-MS. The identified chemical compounds were classified into different functional groups in support of the previous study. Our result indicates the application of Cinnamomum camphor in the field of biomedicine, bioenergy and chemical raw materials... View More»
