Abstract:
The essential oils obtained by steam distillation of aerial parts of Santolina africana Jord. & Fourr. an endemic species to North Africa and Santolina chamaecyparissus L. growing in the East of Algeria were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The main components of S. africana were β-pinene (12.78 %), 1,8-cineol (10.02 %), myrcene (6.94 %), curcumene (7.96 %), spathulenol (5.96 %) and β-eudesmol (14.58 %). These results were slightly different from a previous study which reported from the same species: terpinen-4-ol (44 %), borneol (6.73 %), camphor (15.11 %) and α-terpineol (11.31 %). Our results concerning S. chamaecyparissus showed as main components: thujene (2.46 %), camphene (6.84 %), myrcene (6.44 %), 1,8-cineol (11.22 %), terpinen-4-ol ( 4.93 %), spathulenol (7.59 %) and β-eudesmol (3.76 %).
