Abstract
The composition of essential oils from twigs and needles of Balkan pine (Pinus peuce
Gris.) grown in northern Greece was investigated. The compounds were identified by
using GC-MS analysis. The twig oil was rich in alpha-pinene (7.38%), beta-pinene (12.46%),
beta-phellandrene (26.93%), beta-caryophyllene (4.48%), and citronellol (12.48%),
and the needle oil was rich in alpha-pinene (23.07%), camphene (5.52%), beta-pinene
(22.00%), beta-phellandrene (6.78%), bornyl acetate (9.76%), beta-caryophyllene (3.05%),
and citronellol (13.42%). The mean oil yield was 2.85% for twigs and 0. 57% for needles.
