The volatile components obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaves of Altingia excelsa Nornha, collected from the foothills of Arunachal Pradesh, were analysed by GC and GCMS. A total of 52 compounds were identified, representing 99% of the total oil. The major components identified were α-pinene (19.8%); β-pinene (16.0%); α-phellandrene (15.9%); limonene (10.9%) and β-phellandrene (8.1%). Other components present in small or trace amounts were also identified. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
