„The main compound of both root oils is trans-epoxypseudoisoeugenyl tiglate, which is accompanied by several structurally related minor constituents, such as pseudoisoeugenyl tiglate and epoxypseudoisoeugenyl 2-methyl butyrate. Besides these characteristic phenylpropanoids, a number of sesqui- and tri-norsesquiterpenoids (C12-hydrocarbons) occur in appreciable amounts, whereas monoterpenoids could only be found in traces.“
