ABSTRACT

The composition of the essential oils of the leaves and fruits of Drimys granadensis L. f. (Winteraceae) obtained by hydrodistillation were investigated by GC-MS. The main constituents of the leaves oil were the monoterpenoids 4-terpineol (21.9 percent), sabinene (16.6 percent), gamma-terpinene (8.3 percent) and alpha-terpinene (5.5 ercent), together with the sesquiterpene germacrene-D (10.2 percent). The main constituents of the unripe-fruit oil were the sesquiterpenoids germacrene-D (23.4 percent) and drimenol (10.0 percent)
