Allohimachalol (I)<br />

Beri and Sharma (1971) reported chemical examination of the<br />

bark of Cedrus deodara. C. deodara bark (15.5 % materials) extracted<br />

with solvents and water gave 9.8 % carbohytrates, 47.5 % lignins, 2.2 %<br />

tannins, and 2.6 % ash. Alkaloids could not be demonstrated by<br />

qualitative chemical tests. Saponification of a wax-like substance<br />

extracted with petroleum ether yielded liquid acids (61.9 %), solids<br />

(12.7 %) and wax (25.4 %). A higher alcohol and β-sitosterol were present<br />
