The analysis resulted in the identification of 72 compounds representing 82.4% of the oil. The major constituents found were spathulenol (10.8%), δ-cadinene (7.1%), germacrene D (6.1%), γ-muurolene (5.9%), 2,3,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde (5%) and γ-cadinene (4.4%). The oil was rich in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. © 2009, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
