Abstract

Piper betle (Piperaceae) or betel leaf, known locally as“Phlu” has been used by people in Thailand for chewing for a long time. Additionally, the leaves are used for traditional remedies and folk customs, such as for weddings and housewarming ceremonies. More recently, the aromatic oil industry has used the leaves for oil distillation. Moreover, the oils are used in several household products. Over the past 12 years of our research on Piper species, we found that among the more than forty three species recorded, there are some plants other than P. betle that possess a betel-like scent, viz. P. betloides, P. crocatum, P. maculaphyllum, P. rubroglandulosum, P. semiimmersum, P. submultinerve, P. tricolor, and P. yinkiangense. As it was expected that these plants would contain similar useful chemicals, their extracts were screened for the chemical contents by GC-MS. The extracts contain some important chemical substances that are similar to the betel extract, namely, eugenol, isoeugenol, chavicol, caryophyllene, sabinene, phellandrene, germacrene A and germacrene D, and sesquiterpenes. The results indicate that the eight plant species would have as high a potential as P. betle for industrial purposes. Moreover, as the plants are wild species they have a greater vigor, thus growing well and with more branching than betel. The diverse Piper species studied and documented are important for sustainable uses and can enable conservation management for posterity.
