Abstract

The essential oil ofjuniper berries (Juniperus communis L., Cupressaceae) is traditionallyused for medicinal and flavoring purposes. The aim of the present study was to contribute tothe knowledge of the essential-oil composition of J. communis, which was performed by capillary GC-MS with an HP-5column and with an EI detector. Identification of the compounds was made bycomparison of mass spectra and retention indices with literature records J. communis L. is composed mainly of monoterpene (71.8%) and sesquiterpenehydrocarbons (18.7%). Totally were identified (98.2%) of the chemicalconstituents amounting to 56 compounds and the principalwere: α-pinene (35.8%),β-myrcene (19.9%), sabinene (10.0%) and germacene D (4.5%).
