Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Phyllanthus acidus

Abstract

The essential oil from the leaves of Phyllanthus acidus (Phyllanthaceae) was obtained by hydrodistillation and its composition determined by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-one compounds were identified, representing 92.8 % of the oil. The most abundant components were t-muurolol (20.4 %), α-cadinol (14.6 %), β-cadinene (8.9 %) and α-muurolene (7.5 %).
