The influence of y and b-irradiation and storage time on the composition of the volatile compounds in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) has been examined. Dried basil was exposed to yand P-rays at the doses of 3, 10 and 30 kGy, and volatile components were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction
The essential oil composition of Cedrela odorata L. leaves was comprehensively investigated by means of capillary GC and GC±MS. Twenty-six constituents were identi®ed in the volatile oil. Sesquiterpenoids such as a-santalene (9.5%), b-acoradiene (7.1%), b-elemene (6.8%), caryophyllene oxide (6.0%) a
The essential oil of Cistus ladaniferus L., obtained from plants of Spanish origin grown in Corsica, was investigated by 13 C-NMR spectroscopy (identi®cation of components) and GC (quanti®cation). First, a bulk sample was analysed and 45 constituents were identi®ed. The main components were a-pinene
Three essential oil samples obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaves and ¯owers of Dichrocephala integrifolia (L.) O. Kuntze Chev. collected in dierent localities, were analysed by GC and GC±MS. The plant was poor in essential oil content (0.05%). The three oil samples from Yaounde , Mbalmayo
