Chemical Composition of Essential Oils of Three Eucalyptus Species Grown in Zambia

Pages 653-655 | Received 01 Dec 1995, Published online: 09 Dec 2011
 

Abstract

The essential oils obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus Labil spp. globulus, Eucalyptus radiata Sieb. ex DC spp. radiata and Eucalyptus smithii R. Baker, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The oil yields of the three species ranged from 6.0% to 9.0% (dry weight basis). The major components in the oils were 1,8-cineole (70.1–86.4%), α-pinene (1.7–14.0%), Umonene (3.7–5.7%) and α-terpineol (1.9–6.4%).
