Abstract:
<p align="justify"> The essential oils from the leaves and woods of Cedrela odorata and Dalbergia latifolia were obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) method. A total of 10, 39, 72, and 6 compounds representing 97.63%, 99.16%, 95.13% and 99.83% were identified in Cedrela odorata leaf, wood, Dalbergia latifolia leaf and wood respectively. The major components in Cedrela odorata leaf are &#302;-copaene (4.40%), &#302;-santalene (4.57%), cubenol (8.71%), &#533;elemene (23.06%) and (-)-spathulenol (42.49%) while the wood was dominated by &#534;-eudesmol (8.84%), z-nerolidol (9.23%), &#533;-bisabolol (10.95%), &#302;-curcumene (12.31%) and &#302;-cedrene (17.56%). The leaf essential oil of Dalbergia latifolia had in its composition majorly &#302;-bergamotene (4.23%), (-)-spathulenol (4.49%), &#533;-caryophyllene oxide (5.04%), &#302;-selinene (4.89%), 1-heptariacotanol (5.71%) and heptacosane (6.31%) while the wood contained mainly methylcyclohexane (4.93%), hexanal (6.43%), m-xylene (16.71%) and p-xylene (58.8%).</div> </p>
