Abstract
The leaves and stem of Zanthoxylum rubescens Planch. ex Hook. f. growing in Côte d’Ivoire, were submitted to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger type apparatus. Three different localities have been chosen for our investigations, namely Petit Yapo, Anguédédou and Grand-Lahou. The oil obtained was investigated by GC(RI), GC-MS and 13C NMR. Twenty-nine compounds were identified accounting for 81.8-95.2 % in the oil. The leaves oil composition was dominated by (E)-β-caryophyllene (39.3-60.3 %), (E)-nerolidol (32.2 %) accompanied with significant contents of thymol, α-humulene and β-sesquiphellandrene. While (E)-nerolidol (39.4 %) added to caryophyllene oxide (6.9 %) and thymol (6.7 %) were the major components of stem oil.
