Abstract:
Objective To analyze the volatile composition in the leaves of Sabina chinensis L. Ant. and Sabina chinensis L. Ant. cv. Kaizuca and to study their effects on bacteria. Methods GC-MS was employed in the analysis of volatile composition and four kinds of bacteria were used for testing the sterilization and bacteriostasis of the volatile oil. Results The main substance in volatile oil from the two kinds of plants, Sabina chinensis L. Ant. and Sabina chinensis L. Ant. cv. Kaizuca, was bornyl acetate and the percentage was 38.1% and 46.5% respectively. In addition, in the volatile oil from Sabina chinensis L. Ant. contained 24% of phellandrne and 12.4% of p-menth-l-en-4-o1, as for Sabina chinensis L. Ant. cv. Kaizuca, 30.0% of limonene and 7.9% of ?-pinene were contained. The volatile oil from Sabina chinensis L. Ant. had greater effects of bacteriostasis and sterilization on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli compared with Sabina chinensis L. Ant. cv. Kaizuca. Conclusion Compared with Sabina chinensis L. Ant. cv. Kaizuca, the effects of sterilization and bacteriostasis of volatile oil from Sabina chinensis L. Ant. are much greater and with a larger spectrum of bacteria.
