Aim
Benzaldehyde occurs in a number of plants, especially in the family
Methods
The essential oil was prepared by hydrodistillation, and chemical constituents were determined by GC-FID, GC-MS and chromatographic profiles were compared with each other.
Results
The results show that essential oil obtained from peach and cherry laurel leaves appear to be a promising source of natural benzaldehyde. Under laboratory conditions the benzaldehyde content in peach and cherry laurel leaves reached 95.5% and 99.7%, respectively.
Conclusions
Laboratory and pilot experiments confirmed that by processing of 200–300 kg of green leaves of various species of the genus
