The composition of the essential oil from twigs of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), black pine (P.nigra Arnold) and fir (Abies Borisii - Regis (Abies alba A. cephalonica) Mattfeld), grown in natural stands in Greece was investigated. The compounds were identified by GC/MS analysis. The Scots pine oil was found to be rich in alpha-pinene (19.44%), beta-pinene (17.27%), myrcene (14.00%) and beta-phellandrene (29.14%). The black pine oil was also rich in alpha-pinene (10.38%), beta-pinene (15.45%), myrcene (3.99%), beta-caryophyllene (4.03%) and citronellol (14.97%), while the fir oil was rich in alpha-pinene (3.30%), beta-pinene (2.57%), limonene (46.45%), junepene (2.55%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.05%). The mean twig oil yield on dry weight basis was 0.52%, 0.36% and 0.48% for Scots pine, black pine and fir, respectively.
