Abstract
The essential oil chemical composition of leaf, stem, petiole and root of Jatropha curcas seedlings isolated by hydrodistillation extraction were determined by Gas Chromatography and Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Phytol (47.42 %), pinane (7.10 %) and n-eicosane-(6.98 %) in leaf, 1-butoxyperethyl- homotetrasilsesquioxane (36.11 %) in petiole, 7-benzyl-8-(methylthio)theophyllin (12.53 %) in stem and ?- gurjunene (13.99 %), ?-elemol (13.45 %), guaiene (13.13 %) in root were major components present in the essential oil.
