ABSTRACT
Various
sampling techniques such as hydrodistillation, Soxhlet extraction and solid
phase micro extraction (SPME) were used
to extract compounds, i.e. the active components attributed to fragrance of C. grandis flowers. Gas chromatograph mass spectrometry was
then used to identify and quantify the active components obtained from the
techniques. The results thus far showed that, buds and blossoms of this flower
which possesses a strong floral-, jasmine- and orange-like aroma contain
β-myrcene, limonene, ocimene, linalool and caryophyllene as the major
compounds. In hydrodistillation technique the levels of ocimene and linalool
detected in blossom were higher than in the bud at 7.37 and 15.93%,
respectively, while in the bud, limonene was the highest, i.e. 4.57%. In
Soxhlet extraction, however the bud was found to consist of limonene (27.25%),
ocimene (5.55%) and linalool (2.97%). The performance of three available SPME fibers was compared to evaluate the recoveries of volatile
compounds in C.grandis flowers and 100 μm polydimethylsiloxane was found
to be the most effective.

ABSTRAK
Pelbagai
teknik persampelan iaitu penyulingan hidro, pengekstrakan Soxhlet dan
pengekstrakan mikro fasa pepejal (SPME) telah digunakan bagi mengekstrak sebatian-sebatian komponen
aktif yang terlibat kepada kewangian bunga C.
grandis. Kromatografi gas spektrometri jisim kemudiannya digunakan bagi
mengenalpasti dan mengukur komponen aktif yang diperolehi daripada teknik
tersebut. Keputusan telah menunjukkan bahawa putik dan bunga ini, mempunyai
aroma kuat menyamai keharuman bungaan, melor dan oren mengandungi
β-mirsena, limonena, osimena, linalool and kariofilena sebagai sebatian
utama. Dalam teknik penyulingan hidro ke atas bunga, kandungan osimena dan
linalool telah dikesan lebih tinggi berbanding putik dengan peratusan
masing-masing adalah 7.37 dan 15.93%, sementara di dalam putik, kandungan
limonena adalah yang tertinggi iaitu 4.57%. Dalam pengekstrakan Soxhlet,
keadaan adalah sebaliknya dengan kandungan limonena (27.25%), ocimena (5.55%)
dan linalool (2.97%) di dalam putik adalah lebih tinggi. Prestasi ketiga-tiga
fiber SPME juga telah dibandingkan
daripada segi keupayaan mengukur sebatian meruap dari bunga C. grandis dan
didapati 100 μm polidimetilsiloxane adalah paling berkesan.
