The essential oil from the dried fruit of Xylopia aethiopica (Dunal) A. Richard from Sudan was analyzed using combined GC-MS and 1HNMR. The main constituents identified in the oil were 4-terpineol (11.30%), ?-pinene (6.12%), ?-terpineol (6.02%), 1,8-cineole (5.42%), cis-?-copaene-8-ol (4.68%),13-epimanoyl oxide (4.62%), (+)-spathulenol (4.26%), L-pinocarveol (3.26%), myrtenol (2.94%), o-cymene (2.82%), eudesma-1,3-dien-11-ol (2.35%), eudesma,4-11(13)-dien-2-ol (2.32%), cumic alcohol (2.29%), Kaur-16-ene (2.21%) and ?-pinene (1.88%). Fifteen compounds were identified for the first time in X. aethiopica essential oil, among which thujol, 1,5-epoxysalvial,4(14)-ene, salvial-4(14)-en-1-one and 13-epimanool were the major compounds.
