Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry study of the essential oils of Pimenta racemosa var. terebinthina and P. racemosa var grisea.
The essential oil of the leaves of P. racemosa var. terebinthina and P. racemosa var. grisea were examined by GC and GC/MS. The major constituents were alpha-terpineol acetate (27%), alpha-terpineol (20%) and 4-methoxy eugenol (12.6%) for Pracemosa var. terebinthina and 4-methoxy-isoeugenol (75.2%) and 4-methoxy-eugenol (4.5%) for P. racemosa var. grisea.
