Variation of essential oil composition of Eucalyptus camaldulensis (myrtaceae) from the Montengero coastline
2010
In the current study the essential oil obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus
camaldulensis plants collected from five localities of the Montenegro
coastline was analyzed. The oil yield varied from 0.63 % (Kotor) up to 1.59%
(Tivat). The chemical composition of the leaf essential oil was analyzed
using GC-MS technique. Monoterpene hydrocarbons were a major class of
compounds. Among them, dominant compounds were p-cymene (17.38-28.60%),
s-phellandrene (12.35-14.47%) and s-pinene (0.94-11.48%). The second largest
group was oxygenated monoterpenes with cryptone (4.97-7.25) and
terpinene-4-ol (2.75-4.21%) as predominant. Besides high content of
sesquiterpene alcohol spathulenol (7.83-14.15%) was found. According to the
results obtained E. camaldulensis from Montenegro can be classified in the
chemotype with low 1,8-cineole and high p-cymene and cryptone ratio.
