Comparing of Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus grandis) Essential Oil Compositions Growing in Hatay Ecological Conditions

Abstract

Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus grandis from Hatay (Turkey), were analyzed by GC/MS. The total ratio of twenty-three components in Eucalyptus camaldulensis volatile components with 98.15%. This ratio is seen as forty-seven components and 99.66% in Eucalyptus grandis. Eucalyptol, limonene and α-pinene were identified as the main components of the essential oils of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Cymene, α-pinene, isoborneol, trans-pinocarveol and eucalyptol were identified as the main components of the essential oils of Eucalyptus grandis. When compare the components of E. camaldulensis and E. grandis essential oils, the main component was determined as eucalyptol with 74.11% and cymene with 31.67% respectively.
