Chemical Composition of Essential Oils from Needles and Twigs of Balkan Pine (Pinus peuce Grisebach) Grown in Northern Greece

The composition of essential oils from twigs and needles of Balkan pine (Pinus peuce Gris.) grown in northern Greece was investigated. The compounds were identified by using GC-MS analysis. The twig oil was rich in α-pinene (7.38%), β-pinene (12.46%), β-phellandrene (26.93%), β-caryophyllene (4.48%)...

Zusammenfassung:	The composition of essential oils from twigs and needles of Balkan pine (Pinus peuce Gris.) grown in northern Greece was investigated. The compounds were identified by using GC-MS analysis. The twig oil was rich in α-pinene (7.38%), β-pinene (12.46%), β-phellandrene (26.93%), β-caryophyllene (4.48%), and citronellol (12.48%), and the needle oil was rich in α-pinene (23.07%), camphene (5.52%), β-pinene (22.00%), β-phellandrene (6.78%), bornyl acetate (9.76%), β-caryophyllene (3.05%), and citronellol (13.42%). The mean oil yield was 2.85% for twigs and 0.57% for needles. Keywords: Pinus peuce; Pinaceae; essential oil composition
