This study aimed to identify the composition of the essential oils of the fresh, dried and fermented leaves of Premna serratifolia by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using DB-5 and Carbowax 20M columns. A total of 77, 82 and 90 compounds were detected, which involved the main compound categories of hydrocarbons, terpenoids, and phenolics. Amyl vinyl carbinol (15.8-32.6%), linalool (11.1-15.1%), phytol (7.7-12.5%), salicylic acid methyl ester (3.9-7.2%) and (E)-caryophyllene (3.1-6.6%) were predominant components of the fresh leaf oils. After drying and fermentation, the chemical compositions were changed by various reactions. The amounts of amyl vinyl carbinol were decreased to 6.3-13.8% and 6.9-11.5% after drying and fermentation, respectively. Likewise, linalool and phytol were decreased to 6.3-7.5% and 7.3-9.0% after drying, and decreased to 5.3-7.9% and 2.0-3.4% after fermentation, respectively. In both the dried and the fermented leaf oils, alpha-humulene was disappeared and beta-myrcene was detected as a new compound. The noticeable changes in chemical composition after drying process were much increasing in the amount of (E)-caryophyllene (6.6-12.2%) to become the most abundant compound, and the hydrolysis of palmitic acid ethyl ester to palmitic acid (5.0%). The fermentation method could dramatically increase the amounts of phenolic compounds especially p-vinylanisole (2.4-41.1%) which became the major compound, marked decrease the phytol and found acorenone B (4.4%) as a new compound. The present study demonstrated that drying and fermentation processes affected the volatile composition of the leaves of P. serratifolia.
