Abstract
The seasonal depending variations of the essential oils of the needles with twigs of Bulgarian Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinaceae) were analyzed by GC-FID, GC-MS and olfactoric evaluation. In totally 8 investigated essential P. menziesii oils about 60 compounds could be identified with monoterpenes (especially sabinene and β-pinene) as main constituents. The antimicrobial effects against bacteria, fungi and worms of these volatiles as well as their olfactoric properties will be discussed.
