The composition of the essential oils of the leaves of three Eucalyptus species: E. alba Reinw ex Blume, E. deglupta Blume (syn. E. naudiniana F.v.M.) and E. saligna Sm. growing in Nigeria were determined by the use of GC and GC±MS. The leaf essential oil of E. deglupta predominantly comprised sesqu

Abstract
The composition of the volatile oil from the leaves of Lantana camara was investigated in detail by GC and GC–MS techniques. β‐Caryophyllene (24.6%), α‐humulene (19.5%), sabinene (8.8%), germacrene D (5.7%) and cubebol (5.7%) were among the principal components. A total of 56 compounds, which accounted for 91.3% of the oil, were analysed. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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
Volatile oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the tubers of two varieties (brown and black) of Cyperus esculentus L. (Cyperaceae) were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Nine and 11 compounds, representing 91.7-99.7% of the total volatile oils were identified, respectively, from the brown and black varietie
