Abstract
The hydrodistillated seed essential oil of Calocedrus formosana was analyzed to determine its composition and yield. Twentyseven compounds were identified, the main ones being á-pinene (63.8%), totarol (9.9%) and ferruginol (8.9%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons (73.5%) and oxygenated diterpenes (18.8%) were the predominant groups of compounds. The seed essential oil exhibited excellent antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-wood-decay fungal activities.
