Chinese Cassia 173<br />

Some information is available on the leaf oil composition of C. loureirii, mostly from trees<br />

grown in Japan. Steam distilled leaves and twigs yielded 0.2% light brown oil, containing<br />

40% linalool, 27% aldehyde (mainly citral) and cineole (Nitta, 1984). Steam distilled<br />

bark yielded 1.2% light brown oil. This oil contained mainly cinnamladehyde (80%),<br />

camphene, linalool and cineole as minor components (Asakawa, 1971; Weiss, 1997).
