The essential oils from the stems, flowers and fruits of two populations of Litsea cubeba Pers., growing spontaneously in Assam, India, were examined by a combination of high resolution GC and GC/MS. Between 19 and 44 compounds have been identified, accounting for 82-99% of the oils. The major constituents of the stem oils appeared to be citronellol (11.9-20.4%) and citronellal (7.7-10.0%). The fruit oils were also characterized by high concentrations of these compounds, but in reversed order: citronellal (44.8-77.2%) and citronellol (10.9-14.0%). The flower oils were rich in sabinene (41.8-42.3%), citronellal (14.3-17.3%), beta-phellandrene (7.7-9.0%), alpha-pinene (6.6-7.6%) and beta-pinene (5.8-6.1%).
