Composition of the seed oils from Algerian Cedrus atlantica G. Manetti

Seeds of Cedrus atlantica G. Manetti collected at two different locations [Ouled Yacoub (OY) and Tala Guilef (TG)] have been investigated for their essential oil components. By means of GC and GC/MS techniques, analysis of the oils has shown that their chemical composition was affected by geographic...

Description
Summary:Seeds of Cedrus atlantica G. Manetti collected at two different locations [Ouled Yacoub (OY) and Tala Guilef (TG)] have been investigated for their essential oil components. By means of GC and GC/MS techniques, analysis of the oils has shown that their chemical composition was affected by geographical origin. Forty-four and 28 components were identified in the seed oils of (OY) and (TG), respectively. The main constituents were: alpha-pinene (37.1-5.5%), beta-pinene (8.6-1.9%), myrcene (3.6-0.6%), limonene (2.5-0.6%), bornyl acetate (5.4-4.0%), (E)-beta-farnesene (6.8-1.9%) and manool (8.3-20.7%).
