Study of the Essential Oil from Juniperus communis "Berries" (Cones) Growing Wild in Greece.

چکیده
Capillary GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oil from the cones of JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS L. grown wild in Greece showed a high content of alpha-pinene (ca 27%), sabinene (13%), germacrene-D (10%), and myrcene (9%). The total oil (yield 2.95%) consisted of almost 105 constituents, 77 of which representing 93.1% were identified. As the main component of the oxygenated monoterpenes was found the terpinen-4-ol (1.37%). Seasonal investigation of the essential oils showed mainly quantitative variations among the constituents.
