	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In the present
investigation, we studied new essential oil contents and compositions of three
individual plants from Cu</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">pressaceae family cultivated in Vietnam. The air-dried
plants were hydrodistilled and the oils analysed by Gas chroma</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">tography (GC)
and Gas chromatography couples with Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The components
were identified by comparison of their retention indices on HP-5 MS capillary
column with literature reference and MS pattern with au</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">thentic library¡¯s

(18.3%) and thujopsene (5.7%) were the main constituents of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Cupressus tonkiensis</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Silba. Monoterpenes
were the quantitative significant compounds of </span></span><i><span lang=\"PT-BR\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Sabina chinensis </span></i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(L.)
