title: [Essential oils of Drimys granadensis (Interaceae) leaves and green fruits].
abstract: The composition of the essential oils of the leaves and fruits of Drimys granadensis L. f. (Winteraceae) obtained by hydrodistillation were investigated by GC-MS. The main constituents of the leaves oil were the monoterpenoids 4-terpineol (21.9%), sabinene (16.6%), gamma-terpinene (8.3%) and alpha-terpinene (5.5%), together with the sesquiterpene germacrene-D (10.2%). The main constituents of the unripe-fruit oil were the sesquiterpenoids germacrene-D (23.4%) and drimenol (10.0%).
