Chemical composition of leaf, flower and fruit oils of Vitex pseudo-negundo (Hausskn.) Hand.-Mzt. from Iran

The volatile constituents of Vitex pseudo-negundo (Hausskn.) Hand.-Mzt. were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed via GC and GC/MS. The major constituents of the leaf oil were alpha-pinene (35.9%), limonene (12.2%) and bicyclogermacrene (9.5%), while the fruit oil contained alpha-pinene (31.7%...
