Among the three South American Lauraceae with cinnamon odours, Ocotea quixos Lam. is distinguished with the richest historical legacy. Cinnamaldehyde, its odoriferous principle, occurs besides o-methoxycinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid and methyl cinnamate in the fruit calyx. In contradistinction, 1-nitro-2-phenylethane is responsible for the cinnamon odour of bark and leaves of Aniba canelilla (H..B.K.) Mez and Ocotea pretiosa (Nees) Mez.
在三种具有肉桂气味的南美樟科植物中,奥寇梯木(Ocotea quixos Lam.)有着最为丰富的历史底蕴。其果实花萼中除了含有邻甲氧基肉桂醛、肉桂酸和肉桂酸甲酯外,还含有散发气味的主要成分肉桂醛。相比之下,1-硝基-2-苯乙烷是卡内利拉桂(Aniba canelilla (H..B.K.) Mez)和珍贵奥寇梯木(Ocotea pretiosa (Nees) Mez)树皮及树叶中肉桂气味的来源。
