Abstract

The chemical compositions of essential oils obtained from the aerial parts (leaves) of Cymbogopogn schoenanthus and Origanum majorana L., grown in Eastern Algeria (35°24'15" N and 8°7'27" E), by hydrodistillation was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The components obtained were identified. The most important compound detected in leaves of Cymbopogon proxima L. was 4-isopropyl-1-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol (cis) (15 %) and most important compound detected in leaves of Origanum majorana L. was p-menth-1-en-4-ol, (R) (21 %).
