ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to identify major constituents in the volatile matter from four
indoor flowering plants and to evaluate them for bacteriostatic activity of the most abundant
compounds. Volatile matter was collected by a dynamic collection method from Gardenia
jasminoides, Ceropegia woodii, Pilea nummulariifolli, and Rhoeo purpurea. GC-MS analyses
identified that the most abundant terpene compounds were á-pinene and ocimene (14.19% of
total volatile matter) in G. jasminoides, á-pinene, camphene, ocimene and eucalyptole (43.91%
of total volatile matter) in C. woodii, á-pinene and camphene (45.52% of total volatile matter)
in P. nummulariifollia, and á-pinene, camphene and eucalyptole (46.42% of total volatile matter)
in R. purpurea. These four terpene monomers have demonstrated strong bacteriostatic activity
against six bacterial cultures. The most effective was á-pinene (5μl/ml) which had 100%
bacteriostatic rate on all the bacterial cultures. The least effective (34% bacteriostatic rate) was
eucalyptole (10μl/ml) against Saprophytic staphylococcus.
