The 44 oil constituents, obtained by hydrodistillation, were largely dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons (83.6%).
The present investigation revealed the abundance of limonene (42.9%) and β-phellandrene (24.4%). β-Caryophyllene (7.6%) occurred in a significant proportion among the sesquiterpenes.DEWEY : 665 ISSN : 1041-2905 En ligne : http://www.jeoronline.com/archive/detail/42#top
