title: Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Chamaecyparis obtusa leaf essential oil.
abstract: The essential oil obtained from the leaves of Chamaecyparis obtusa was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. alpha-Terpinyl acetate, sabinene, isobornyl acetate and limonene were found to be the major components.
