The chemical composition of the essential oils, obtained by separate distillation of the leaves, branches and fruits of Pistacia lentiscus from Tuscan (Italy), was analyzed and identified h) GC and GC/MS. The leafoil contained apinene (16.1-25.3%), limonene (6.6-12.3%), terplinen-4-ol (7.6-12.7%) and germacrene D (9.6-14.3%) its major components. The branch oil contained alpha-pinene (34.4-46.2%), myrcene (6.3-11.6%) and limonene (8.1-13.0%), while the fruit oil contained alpha-pinene (7.5-11.2%), myrcene (68.2-71.0%) and limonene (9.6-19.7%) as major constituents. Little differences in composition were found between samples collected in different seasons and years, while epigenetic variations were observed for samples of oils from different sources.
