Abstract

The medicinal properties attributed to resins of this plant in Sudanese traditional medicine prompted us to study the chemical composition of the oil. The GC/MS chromatogram of the oil revealed the presence of 58.86% monoterpenes and 23.28% sesquiterpenes. Predominant monoterpenoids were; m-cymene (21.56%), linalool (7.21%) and p-mentha-1-en-8-ol (5.28%) while the predominant sesquiterpenoids were; alpha-guaiene (3.55%) and C15H24 (3.23%).
