Abstract
The composition of essential oil of leaves of the male and female shrubs ofJuniperus chinensis L. (growing in Isfahan) was analyzed by gas choromatography(GC) and GC-mass spectrometery (MS). The main constituents of leaf oil of the maleshrub were: bornyl acetate (26.1%), sabinene (18.3%),trans-sabinyl acetate (11.1%),myrcene (9.2%), limonene (6.1%), elemol (5.5%), α-cadinol (2.3%), δ-cadinene(2.2%), trans-thujone (1.6%), α-pinene (1.3%) and α-muurolol (1.1%); while themajor constituents of leaf oil of the female shrub were: sabinene (18.0%), bornylacetate (12.3%), carotol (11.4%), elemol (9.9%), myrcene (8.8%), α-pinene (6.4%),δ-cadinol (4.8%), limonene (3.9%), δ-cadinene (3.4%) and α-muurolol (2.7%).
