Abstract
The chemical profiles of volatile compounds obtained from different leaf extracts of Chromolaena odorata L, were determined by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography couples with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The hexane extract was characterized by abundance of phytol (23.1%), caryophyllene oxide (12.7%), germacrene D (9.0%) and (7.8%) and β-caryophyllene (8.2%). The major constituents of the chloroform extract were dodecyl acetate (13.6%), oleic acid methyl ester (11.2%), di -n-octyl phthalate (11.1%) and hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (6.6%).
