Chemical composition of the resin essential oil of Canarium album from Vietnam

The composition of the essential oil obtained from the resin of Canarium album (Lour.) Raeusch, Burseraceae, growing in Vietnam, was studied by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-nine compounds representing 95.2% of the oil were identified. Monoterpenoids made up 93.2% of the oil, with beta-pinene (33.3%), alpha-terpinene (19.4%), gamma-terpinene (14.1%), and terpinen-4-ol (11.9%) as the main components. Sesquiterpenoids made lip 2.0% of the oil, and the content of each individual was below 0.5% of the oil.
