Abstract
The needle oils of Pinus caribaea, Pinus merkusii, Pinus elliottii, and Pinus massoniana were analysed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The main components of the oils were α-pinene (18–83%), β-pinene (2–60%), and car-3-ene (6–20%) and the minor constituents include β-phellandrene, myrcene, and limonene. The terpene composition of the needle oils of P. massoniana, P. caribaea, and P. merkusii is being reported for the first time.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
