Abstract

The chemical composition of three cajuput essential oils of Melaleuca cajuputi (M. cajuputi) from different area in Indonesia were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to determine the similarities and differences among their volatile chemical compositions. These cajuput oils come from Malang (East Java), Buru Island (Maluku), and Merauke (Papua). It contains 30 components of which 26 components have been identified. Cajuput oils in this research contained significant quantities of 1,8-cineole (42-60%), α-terpineole (4-18%), caryophyllene (0.6-11%), and α-pinene (3-12%). Oil from Malang (East Java) also contained significant amounts of α-selinene (6.73 %) and accompanied by lesser amounts of sesquiterpene detected only in this oil: valencene, germacrene B, ledol, globulol, epiglobulol, and viridiflorol. The hemiterpene compound, 2,4-pentanediol (11.44%), was only found in oil from Buru Island. Oil originating from Papua also contained α-gurjunene (17.31%) as the major component. Cajuput oil from Malang (East Java) has the highest number of chemical components than the others
