Abstract

In order to compare essential oils composition of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. from there locations, it was collected from Noor Abad (Fars province), Behshahr (Mazandaran province) and Tehran (Tehran province) in Feb. 1999 and hydrodistilled in the phytochemistry lab of Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands.
The oils were produced in light- yellow colors at the yields of 060%, 0.14% and 0.50%, respectively (based on fresh weights).
The oils were analyzed by CGC-FID and GC/MS. Thirty-four compounds were identified in each one among which 1.8-cineole (48.8%, 1.0% abd 2.5%) p- cymene (16.3%, 35.5% and 23.9%) and spathulenol (3.7%, 2.7% and 15.4%) were the major constituents, respectively.
