Abstract

Abstract Collective and individual samples of myrtle leaf oil from Corsica were analyzed by GC, GC/MS and Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. Corsican myrtle was found to contain α-pinene (47.9–59-5%) and 1,8-cineole (19.8–28.1%) as major components. It belongs to the α-pinene/l,8-cineole chemotype.
