dc.description.abstractThe essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from leaves of Eucalyptus torelliana F. Muell. (Myrtaceae) growing in Benin was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty eight components, which represented 99,6 % of the total constituents of the oil were identified. The essential oil is rich in hydrocarbons monoterpenic. The major constituents found were a-pinene (60.9 %), b- pinene (12.0 %), trans-b-caryophyllene (9.0 %), limonene (2.9 %) and aromadendrene (2.1 %). The oil extracted reveals an average antiradical and antimicrobial activities.
