Chemical Composition of Natural and Empyreumatic Oils and Extracts fromJuniperus oxycedrusandJuniperus phoeniceaWood

Abstract
Ten oils (essential and empyreumatic) and extracts from the woods of Juniperus oxycedrus L. and Juniperus phoenicea L. were obtained by different methods (steam distillation, solvent extraction, wood pyrolysis, column chromatography, molecular distillation, rectification and extraction of precedent oils and extracts). The different oils and fractions were analyzed by coupled GC/MS; their chemical specificities are compared and discussed for subsequent dermatological applications.
