Abstract

Volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocyanate (0.5%), n-butyl isothiocyanate(0.5%) and benzyl isothiocyanate (<0.1%); while the volatile isothiocyanates which constituted also almost the whole isolated oil of the leaf were found to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (88.5%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (10.2%), n-butyl isothiocyanate (0.4%) and sec-butyl isothiocyanate (<0.1%).

Keywords:
  • Isobutyl isothiocyanate
  • Isopropyl isothiocyanate
  • Moringa peregrina
  • Moringaceae
  • Volatile isothiocyanates
