The volatiles isolated from the leaves and flowers of fnufa viscosa (L.) Ait. were studied by means of GC and GC-MS. The oil obtained by hydrodistillation was shown to contain borneol (25.2%), bornyl acetate (19.5%) and isobornyl acetate (22.5%) as major constituents, whereas that isolated first by

✦ Synopsis
The steam-distilled volatile oil of the cinnamon fruit (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) grown at Karnataka and Kerala (south India) has been analysed by GC and GC±MS. It consists of hydrocarbons (32.8% and 20.8%) and oxygenated compounds (63.7% and 73.4%). Thirty-four compounds representing more than 94% of the oil were identi®ed. trans-Cinnamyl acetate and b-caryophyllene were found to be the major compounds in cinnamon fruit grown in both Karnataka and Kerala. This is the ®rst report on the chemical composition of the volatile oil of the fruit of C. zeylanicum.
