Abstract

The four types of essential oil of Eucalyptus leaves from Africa were obtained by steam distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC-MS).The compounds of 1# and 2# oil were eucalyptol,terpinyl acetate,α-gurjunene,aromadendrene,alloaromadendrene,ledene,globulol and ledol.The compounds of 3# and 4# oil were p-cymene,eucalyptol,cryptone,cumaldehyde,phellandral,spathulenol,eudesmol,and 9,12-octadecadienoic acid.
