abstract = {This study investigated the chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of the volatile oil from the fruit of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Pulverized fruits (500 g) of the plant afforded 0.58% (w/w) of essential oil after hydro-distillation. The chemical profile of the oil was characterized by GC-MS, which revealed twenty-one (21) compounds accounting for 99.4% of the total composition. The principal components of the oil included: β-ocimene, α-pinene, β-pinene, 2-carene, limonene, and β-caryophyllene. The essential oil scavenged DPPH radical with an IC50 value of 9.86±0.02 μL/mL, showing activity comparable to that of ascorbic acid, which was used as a reference compound. Therefore, the oil may serve as a natural antioxidant for oxidative stress management and its complications, pending clinical validation.},
