Abstract: Abstract The composition of five leaf (needle) essential oils produced by individual plants of Juniperus communis growing wild in five locations of eastern Lithuania was determined by GC and GC/MS. α-Pinene dominated in all leaf oils (40.3–66.5%). β-Phellandrene (four oils) andô-3-carene (one oil) were the second most abundant compounds, followed by other major monoterpene constituents such as myrcene, sabinene and limonene. Monoterpene hydrocarbons made up 70.8–84.0% of juniper leaf oils. One hundred twenty five identified constituents comprised 97.7–99.8% of the essential oils.
