Abstract

Biodegradable and ecologically natural products such as essential oils are emerging candidates for the replacement of usually applied chemical pesticides. This work reported the chemical composition and effects caused by leaves essential oils (EOs) from Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis gave 1.36 % w/w oil dried weight basis. GC-MS analysis of the oils resulted in the identification of 15 constituents, representing 96.24% of the oil. 1,8-cineole (CIN) (65.26%), γ-terpinene (18.45%), o-cymene (13.55%) and terpinen-4-ol (7.01%) were the major components of E. camaldulensis. From the results; E. camaldulensis leaf oils have great potential and can be utilized as cheap sources for the commercial isolation of 1,8-cineole.
