Chemical composition of the essential oil from Feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana Berg.) peel

Essential oil from the peel of Feijoa sellowiana from Menton (France) was analyzed by GC/MS. Sixty-seven compounds representing more than 96.4% of the oil were identified. The main constituents were found to be beta-caryophyllene (12%), ledene (9.6%), alpha-humulene (6.3%), beta-elemene (4.9%) and d...
