The compositions of the essential oil fromcyperus conglomerateswere obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC/MS (Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry). Twenty seven compounds were identified. Of which the cyperene (27.2%) was the major component. This is the first time that an oil ofC. conglomerateshas been found with cyperene as the major constituent. Also, the oil ofC. conglomeratesconsisted mainly of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and a small percentage of monoterpenes.

The hydro-distilled essential oil of Citrus reticulata Blanco var. kinnow was analyzed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Five constituents out of fifteen constituents were identified from seeded C. reticulata oil representing 74.66% of the oil. The major constituent of the oil was ?- phellandrene (62.00%). ?-pinene(6.53%), ?-myrcene(2.81%), limonene(2.81%) and caryophyllene(0.51%) were present in considerable amount. From the low seeded C. reticulata oil, six components out of seventeen compounds were identified constituting 54.74% of the oil and the main component was ?-phellandrene (37.35%). ?-pinene(2.79%), ?-pinene(3.26%), ?-myrcene(4.16%), limonene(5.77%), caryophyllene(1.41%) were present in considerable amount.

The essential oil from the twig of Litsea mollis was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 39 compounds were identified, representing 89.27% of the oil. Among the twig oil compounds, oxygenated monoterpenes (39.06%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (36.62%) were predominant (75.68% in total). Among the oxygenated monoterpenes, eucalyptol (9.9%), (R)-citronellol (7.23%), (R)-citronellal (7.0%), and (Z)-citral (5.03%) were the major compounds. Of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, β-caryophyllene (7.96%), (-)-α-panasinsene (6.31) and à-Caryophyllene (6.28%) were the main components.

The present study aimed to analyze the chemical composition of the essential oil from Garcinia gardneriana (Planchon & Triana) Zappi leaves and fruits, and to determine its acaricidal activity on Rhipicephalus microplus by larval packet test and larvicidal action on Aedes aegypti by larval immersion test. The chemical analysis of the essential oil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes in bacupari leaves and fruits, and α-cedrene, α-chamigrene, α-trans-bergamotene, and β-curcumene as major compounds. Essential oil from leaves of G. gardneriana presented acaricidal activity on R. microplus (LC50 = 4.8 mg/mL; LC99 = 10.8 mg/mL) and larvicidal effect on A. aegypti (LC50 = 5.4 mg/mL; LC99 = 11.6 mg/mL), whereas essential oil from the fruits of G. gardneriana showed LC50 = 4.6 mg/mL and LC99 = 8.9 mg/mL against R. microplus and LC50 = 6.4 mg/mL and LC99 = 13.9 mg/mL against A. aegypti. These results thus demonstrate the potential acaricidal and larvicidal activity of essential oil of G. gardneriana, offering new perspectives for the realization of bioassays from this essential oil.

Helichrysum thianschanicum Regel was collected from Khorugh town of Kuhistoni Badakhshon Autonomous Province of Tajikistan. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. A total of 67 compounds were identified representing 88.4% of the total essential oil composition. The major components of H. thianschanicum essential oil were ( E)-1-(6,10-dimethylundec-5-en-2-yl)-4-methylbenzene (pentylcurcumene) (21.6%), β-selinene (6.4%), δ-selinene (3.8%), (2 E, 6 E)-farnesol (3.3%), nerol (4.1%) and neryl decanoate (4.2%). To our best knowledge, no previous studies have been reported on the chemical composition of the essential oil of H. thianschanicum.

The aim of the present study was to investigate and identify the essential oil constituents of Leucas indica (L.) R.Br. (Lamiaceae). The chemical composition of the hydro-distilled essential oil was obtained from the flowering aerial parts of L. indica for the first time. The oil was analyzed by gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fifty-six compounds were identified, representing 99.1% of the total oil. The main constituents were β-caryophyllene (51.1%) and α-caryophyllene (10.2%). The oil was found to be rich in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (71.8%).

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the leaves and roots of Cochlospermum angolense (Welw) growing wild in Angola was analyzed for the first time by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The investigation led to the identification of 67 and 130 compounds from the leaves and roots, respectively. Both oils were strongly characterized by the presence of sesquiterpenoids (68.8% in the leaves and 53.2% in the roots), while monoterpenoids were present in minor percentages (9.8% in the leaves and 26.2% in the root). The main constituents of the leaves were germacrene D (9.4%), α-cadinol (7.4%) and 10- epi-cubenol (6.2%), while the most abundant compounds in the root essential oil were the sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene (19.7%) and isoborneol (6.6%). The analysis by HS-SPME of the roots, leaves, fruits and seeds were also reported for the first time. Different volatile profiles were detected.
