Abstract
The composition of the essential oil distilled from freshly cut leaves and branchlets of the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia Cheel) grown in India was analysed by GC and GC-MS and the results compared with those of oils of Australian origin. Terpinen-4-ol and 1,8-cineole amounted to 36.4 and 5.6% respectively in the oil, an inverse relationship which is the crucial parameter recommended by the Standards Association of Australia for oil of Melaleuca alternifolia.
