We also analysed the aroma component of the leaf using the headspace method (HS method). Analysis of the extracts by flame ionization detectorgas chromatography and mass spectrometer-gas chromatography identified 34 components in the oil, of which phytol (34.2%) and (E, E)-α-farnesene (9.5%) were yielded as the principal components. In contrast, 47 components were identified from loral water, of which terpinen-4-ol (30.4%) and linalool (21.0%) accounted for 50% or more. Twenty-two compounds were identified as scent components,including E-2-hexenal (48.4%), 1-penten-3-ol (12.4%), and 3-pentanone (7.4%). Farnesene showed the antioxidant action. In order to shut down free radicals in the body and to prevent lifestyle-related diseaseas, and arteriosclerosis, I think that such fundamental studies become still more important., 弘前医療福祉大学紀要, 6(1), 2015, p.19-26}, pages = {19--26}, title = {Phytochemical Analysis of the Leaf of the Fuji Apple Tree}, volume = {6}, year = {2015} }
