Abstract
Eucalyptus is an
evergreen tree known in Sudan as Caphour or Ban tree. The aim of this work was
to extract and determine the constituents of Eucalyptus leaves essential oil.
The plant leaves were collected from Shambat farms at Khartoum North and shed
dried. The dry leaves essential oil was extracted by hydro-distillation and the
oil yield was determined. GC/MS analysis was carried for the extracted oil. The
oil yield was (4.29%), density (0.67g/cm3) and refractive
index (1.473). The GC/MS identification showed the presence of seventy (70)
compounds dominated by, alpha-phellandrene (26.36%), benzene
1-methyl-3-(1-methyl ethyl) (18.48%), 1,8-cineol (12.74%), beta.- phellandrene
(8.29%), bicyclo [3.1.0]hex-2-ene, methyl-5- (1-me), 1H-Cycloprop [e]azulen-7-ol,decahydro-1
(2.12%) and globulol (1.98%).
