Abstract
Twenty nine components were identified in the essential oils of the leaves and seeds of Callitris glauca by hydro distillation and were analysed by means of gas chromatography mass spectroscopy. (GC-MS).Twenty two components were found and identified in the leaf essential oil. The major components are aromandendrene (19.45%) α-limonene (i5.60%), santolinatriene (11.59%) and Patchoulene (6.09%).The oil yield was (0.18%)v/w of wet sample of the leaf essential oil and( 0.38%)v/w of the seed essential oil. Eleven components were identified in the seed essential oil with the main components being E-9-tetradecenyl-acetate (21.70%), Z-10-pentadecen-1-ol (21.80%), Hydrofol acid (18.1%), isooctanol (9.80%), trans-βocimene (5.50%), and IR-α-pinene (5.00%). The quantitative and qualitative compositions of the two essential oils were considerably different.
