Abstract
The essential oils (fruits and leaves) of Polyalthia suaveolens from Gabon were subjected to GC/MS analysis. Twenty-five compounds representing ca. 99.5% of the total oils were identified. The major compounds were α-humulene (34.2%) and β-caryophyllene (32.8%) for the leaf oil and myrcene (34.3%) for the fruit oil.Keywords
