Abstract
The chemical composition of the leaf oils of Clausena lansium (Lour). Skeels and Swinglea glutinosa (Blanco) Merr. were studied by GC and GC/MS. Seventy compounds of the oil of C. lansium were identified of which caryophyllene oxide (16.8%) and (Z)-α-santalol (11.7%) were the major constituents. In the oil of S. glutinosa, 69 compounds were identified of which (E)-nerolidol (41.3%) and caryophyllene oxide (20.9%) were the major components.
