abstract |
The chemical composition of the essential oil of the fruits collected from Eucalyptus globulus trees grown in Portugal has been studied; 33 components were identified, representing 94.5% of the oil, which comprises roughly equal amounts of monoterpenes (50.4%) and sesquiterpenes (49.6%). The major components identified were aromadendrene (25.1%), followed by alpha-phellandrene (17.2 %), 1,8-cineole (11.7 %), ledene (5.83 %) and globulol (5.23 %).
