Abstract
The essential oils of fresh leaves, flowers and fruits of Vitex agnus-castus L., growing in north Brazil, were obtained by hydrodistillation and their volatile constituents were identified by GC–MS. The most abundant constituents found were 1,8-cineole, (E)-β-farnesene, sabinene, α-pinene, α-terpenyl acetate, β-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene. Their compositions were compared with oils from Europe and Nigeria. 1,8-Cineole was an important component in all the samples analysed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
