Abstract

The chemical composition of the leaf oil of Bursera graveolens (Kunth) Triana et Planch. was studied by GC and GC/MS. Ninety-seven constituents were identified, which constituted more than 92% of the leaf oil composition. The most prominent compounds were limonene (30.7%), (E)-β-ocimene (20.8%) and β-elemene (11.3%). The composition of the leaf oil was characterized by its richness in monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons.
