The essential oils of Pistacia lentiscus L. from three regions of Algeria (Algiers, Tizi-Ouzou and Oran) were isolated from aerial parts by hydrodistillation and were investigated by GC and GC/MS. Longifolene was predominant in the oils from Algiers (12.8%) and Tizi-Ouzou (16.4%), while α-pinene (19.0%) was the major constituent of the Oran oil. The other compounds of oils were present in important amounts; Algiers oil: γ-cadinene (6.2%)s, trans-β-terpineol (5.0%) and α-acorneol (4.6%); Tizi-Ouzou oil: trans-β-terpineol (15.6%), terpinen-4-ol (7.0%) and γ-muurolene (5.7%); Oran oil: trans-β-terpineol (13.1%), sabinene (12.6%) and β-pinene (6.5%). A comparison with oils from P. lentiscus of other countries reported in literature shows both qualitative and quantitative differences.
