The major components were α-pinene (18.3%), 1,8-cineole (13.9%), limonene (9.7%), linalool (4.8%), trans-β-ocimene (4.7%), humulene epoxide (4.2%), trans-α-bergamotene (3.5%), α-humulene (3.2%) and camphene (3.1%). Identification of the compounds was based on retention indices, MS data and comparison with authentic samples.
