Abstract

This is the first report about the composition of the essential oil from flowering aerial parts of Cotinus coggygria Scoop. (Anacardiaceae) from Italy. The major compounds identified by GC-MS were limonene (47.1 %), (Z)-beta-ocimene (15.2 %), alpha-pinene (8.5 %) and (E)-beta-ocimene (5.3 %). The oil showed antimicrobial activity against three Gram (+) bacteria: Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and S. epidermidis, and three Candida strains: C. albicans, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis, while it was inactive against three Gram (-) bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae.
