The essential oil was obtained by steam distillation from leaves and stalks of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner which were collected at Neyagawa-shi (Osaka prefecture) in September 1980.
Each essential oil was chemically separated into three parks, i.e. neutral, sodium hydrogencarbonate soluble, and sodium hydroxide soluble parts. Each fraction was investigated by means of IR, GC-MS, NMR, and comparison with authentic samples.
Essential oils consisted of aliphatic hydrocarbons of C12C27, linalool, α-terpineol, phytol, lauric acid, phenolic compounds, and miscellaneous.
The major components were aliphatic hydrocarbons, which occupied 40% in essential oil.
