Abstract

The essential oil and extract obtained from the wood chips of Cedrus deodara by hydrodistillation and percolation respectively have been analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS techniques. Thirty four compounds were identified from the essential oil and twenty six from the extract accounting for 98.3 and 94.6% respectively of total identifications. While the major components of the oil were beta-himachalene (38.3%), alpha-himachalene (17.1%) and gamma-himachalene (12.6%), those of the extracts were E-gamma-atlantone (38.5%) and E-alpha-atlantone (10.2%).
