Congress Abstract

The essential oils from leaves and young twigs of Calocedrus decurrens F,. Cupressus sempervirens stricta L,. and Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) were obtained by hydro distillation yielded 1.4, 0.3 and 1.7% respectively, and have been elucidated by GC/MS analysis. The investigation revealed the presence of 16, 19 and 16 chromatographic peaks, which were identified. The main constituents were di-phenyle amine (23.61%), cedrol (73.59% w/w) and diphenyl amine (38.84%) from Calocedrus decurrens F, Cupressus sempervirens stricta L, and Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) respectively. The essential oil showed strong anti-microbial activity against selected microorganisms.
