Abstract
The steam distilled and hydrodistilled oils of Myricagale leaves were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. They were found to contain myrcene (7.7–20.4%), Umonene (8.1–15.3%), p-cymene (3.2–10.3%) and β-caryophyllene (92-18.6%). In contrast, a CO2 extract of wax myrtle contained limonene (11.1%), selin-11-en-4-ol and nonacosane (26.2%), while a microwave assisted hexane extract contained nona-cosane (71.2%). The headspace of the leaves was found to be rich in myrcene (31.5%), limonene (24.0%) and p-cymene (19.1%).
