The stem barks essential oils of three Vietnamese species of Cinnamomum grown in Vietnam were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The main monoterpene compounds of Cinnamomum kunstleri Rild., were 1, 8-cineole (25.3%), αterpineol (10.7%) and terpinen-4-ol (6.7%). However, linalool (27.0%), limonene (23.4%), terpinen- Original Research Article4-ol (9.8%) and α-phellandrene (9.5%) were the principal monoterpene components of Cinnamomum cambodianum Lecomte. Sesquiterpenes represened mainly by aromadendrene (26.0%), β-caryophyllene (17.2%) and α-copaene (5.7%) were the dominant compounds in the bark oil of Cinnamomum rigidifolium Kosterm. Aims: The aim of this study was to isolate essential oils from the stem barks of Cinnamomum kunstleri, Cinnamomum cambodianum and Cinnamomum rigidifolium and investigate the volatile constituents present therein. Study Design: Disitillation of essential oils from the plant materials and analysis of their chemical composition.
