摘要：AbstractThis study examined the chemical composition of essential oil from the leaves ofEucalyptus maculataandEucalyptus globulusfound in Tanzania. The chemical composition of essential oils of other species viz.E. saligna, E. citriodoraandE. camaldulensishas been described, but due to low abundance ofEucalyptus globulusandEucalyptus maculatathe composition of these plants grown in different parts of Tanzania are unknown. The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation and was analyzed for various chemical compositions using GC–MS. The major identified compounds in the leaf essential oil ofE. maculatawere Eucalyptol (54.29%),p-cymene (10.10%),α-pinene (7.78%), β-myrcene (7.78%), γ-terpinene (1.73%) and citronellal (1.62%); while Eucalyptol (51.62%), α-pinene (23.62%), p-cymene (10%), β-myrcene (8.74%), Terpinen-4-ol (2.74%) and γ-terpinene (2.59%) were the major compounds forE. globulus.
