The periods of the distilling process applied to Cajeput Tree leaf has a marked effect on the quality on the oil produced. This research shows that the longer the oil is distilled, the smaller the Cineol content; 72,5 after one hour and only 47,0 after six hours. Hoever specific grafity, refractive index and optical rotation values increase as time parses; readings were 0,912; 1,470 and -1.38 centigrades respectively after one hour, rising to 0.916; 1.486 and -6.80 centigrades after six hours.
