title: [Analysis of essential oil from the leaves and fruits of Eucalyptus tereticornis in Guangxi province by GC-MS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To Analyze the chemical composition and their relative contents of essential oil from the leaves and fruits of Eucalyptus tereticornis in Guangxi province.
  
  
  METHODS
  The column temperature was controlled by a program with a capillary column HP-5 MS, and the MS analysis was performed with EI and quadrupole mass analyzer. The chemical compositions were identified by NIST98 searching and mass spectra comparing, and their relative contents were determined by using normalization method of chromatographic peak areas.
  
  
  RESULTS
  39 compounds constituting 96.69% of the oil of leaves were identified. The major components were eucalyptol (27.93%), 1R-alpha-pinene (22.60%), isopinocarveol (8.71%); 36 compounds constituting 93.50% of the oil of fruits were identified. The major components are 1R-alpha-pinene (32.88%), eucalyptol (13.64%), D-limonene (8.31%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The GC-MS is a simple, rapid and sensitive method.
