한국특산 섬오갈피나무 및 지리산오갈피나무의 잎과 줄기에서 추출한 주요 정유성분으로, 섬오갈피나무의 경우에는 δ-3-carene (31.34%), l-limonene (17.01%), β-elemene (4.53%), trans-p-menth-2-ene-1,8-diol (3.13%), 1,8-cineole (4.73%), 1-dodecen-3-yne (2.64%), (Z)-3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene (3.21%), 지리산오갈피나무의 경우에는 delta-3-carene (14.78%), limonene (7.24%), t-ocimene (7.22%), α-terpinolene (8.76%), gamma-elemene (4.32%), β-selinene (7.72%), veridifloral (3.25%), dodecane (2.44%) 등의 성분함량이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 δ-3-carene는 섬오갈피나무 및 지리산오갈피나무에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다.
The chemical composition of the volatile constituents from the leaves and stems of endemic Acanthopanax koreanum and A. chiisanensis collected from Mt. Deokyu was determined by GC and GC/MS spectrometric analysis with the aid of NBS, Wiley Library and RI indice searches. The major constituents identified were δ-3-carene (31.34%), l-limonene (17.01 %), β-elemene(4.53%), trans-p-menth-2-ene-1,8-diol(3.13%), 1,8-cineole (4.73%), 1-dodecen-3-yne (2.64%) and (Z)-3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene (3.21%) in A. koreanum, and δ-3-carene (14.78%), limonene (7.24%), t-ocimene (7.22%), α-terpinolene (8.76%), γ-elemene (4.32%), β-selinene (7.72%), veridifloral (3.25%) and dodecane (2.44%) in A. chiisanensis.
