Abstract
The present study was focused to determine bioactive constituents in fresh & dried leaves (shade dry, oven dry) of cultivated Cinnamomum tamala. A total of 17 bioactive constituents were found through GC–MS analysis, and exhibited maximum (96.28%) in fresh leaves as compared to shade dry leaves (94.67%). Among them, cinnamaldehyde was found significantly major active constituent in the leaves (fresh 44.49%; shade dry 39.37%), followed by linalool (fresh 29.50%; shade dry 10.67%), cinnamyl acetate (fresh 4.02%; shade dry 38.81%), and limonene (fresh 6.40% and shade dry 0.27%), respectively. Results revealed that cinnamaldehyde & linalool are the major constituents of C. tamala. Therefore, the species can be promote as an option for fulfilling the market requirement.
