Three qualities of New Caledonian sandalwood oil were analyzed using GC and GC/MS. Eighty-four constituents were identified: 10 monoterpenes, 72 sesquiterpenes and two others. In addition β-bisabolol/epi-β-bisabolol isomers were isolated and characterized via chiral GC chromatography. Our results indicate that New Caledonian sandalwood oil is much closer related to East Indian sandalwood oil than its Western Australian counterpart.
