Potential of eleven Eucalyptus species for the production of essential oils

Abstract: Most Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil aim the production of paper and charcoal, but the use of the species for lumbering, construction and extraction of essential oil has increased. Eleven species of Eucalyptus were assessed in regard to their essential oil production potential, nine never used before for commercial, essential oil extraction. Assessements were compared with Eucalyptus citriodora and Eucalyptus globulus, already explored in oil production for perfume and medical purposes, aiming to increase the… Show more

“…Hydro distillations of fresh leaves of Eucalyptus acquired an essential oil yield (v/w) of 1.75% (E. globulus) and 2.00% (E. citrodora). This result is in agreement with the work reported by Bachheti [9], E. globulus located at eastern part of Ethiopia yielded 1.21% and Silva et al [10], from Brazil origin obtained an average yield of 1.07% and 1.7% for E. globulus and E. citriodora, respectively. The physical properties of the essential oils were recorded as Specific gravity (0.92 g/mL and 0.91 g/ mL), Refractive index (1.45952 and 1.45215) and Optical rotation (+8.155° and +0.559°) for E. globulus and E. citriodora, respectively ( Table 1).…”

“…A total of six compounds were identified from essential oil of E. citriodora from which Citronellal (73.86%) and Citronellol (14.13%) were dominantly comprised (Figure 4 and Table 3). In agreement results were reported by Dagne et al [3] Citronellal (73.3%); Silva et al [10] Citronellal (76.1%); Loumouamou et al [12] with constituents of Citronellal (57.1-75.4%) and Citronellol (8-11%).…”

“…Oil from E. dunnii contained 1,8‐cineole (53.5%), α‐pinene (21.4%), α‐terpineol (7%) and viridiflorol (8.3%). Oil from E. saligna contained 1,8‐cineole (45.2%), α‐pinene (12.8%) and p ‐cymene (34.4%) 19, 20. Tapandjou et al 21 obtained α‐pinene (39.5%), p ‐cymene (31.1%) and 1,8‐cineole (9.8%) as the major compounds.…”

“…No Brasil, a extração e comercialização do óleo essencial de eucalipto situam o País em posição de destaque quanto ao volume e qualidade do óleo produzido (Maffeis et al, 2000;Silva et al, 2006). Em vista disso, a avaliação dos efeitos benéficos destes óleos essenciais sobre o desenvolvimento vegetal pode representar uma alternativa biológica para a otimização da produção e da qualidade de mudas florestais destinadas ao campo.…”
