Abstract
The composition of the volatile oil obtained from the hydrodistillation of the leaves of Psidium guajava L., growing in Nigeria, was studied by GC–MS. Forty‐two compounds, representing more than 90% of the volatile mixture, were identified. The significant compounds were limonene (42.1%) and β‐caryophyllene (21.3%).
