Three qualities of Eastern Polynesian sandalwood oil were analyzed using GC and GC-MS. Sixty-six constituents were identified: 5 monoterpenes, 58 sesquiterpenes and 3 others. The main constituents of the essential oils were ( Z)-α-santalol and ( Z)-β-santalol. Beside chemical composition, olfactory evaluation and chiral gas chromatography of β- and epi-β-bisabolol isomers confirmed the close relationship of Eastern Polynesian to East Indian and New Caledonian sandalwood oil.
