Cinnamomum sintoc Blume is native from the lowland region of Indonesia, and is an endemic plant in Mount Ciremai National Park. It is a medicinal plant that can be extracted into essential oil. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition of essential oils contained in the leaves and bark of C. sintoc in Mount of Ciremai National Park. The extraction method uses steam distillation. The distillation results are analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil. The results showed there are differences in the composition of chemical compounds contained in the leaves and bark of C. sintoc, the main chemical compound components in the leaves were linalool (8.26–87.12 %), 1,8-cineole (33.20–49.21 %), caryophyllene (1.54–7.78 %), α-terpineol (1.02–17.23 %), β-selinene (1.02–4.16 %), germacrene β (1.02–4.03 %), and (-)-caryophyllene oxide (1.01–2.49 %) and in the bark were 1,8-cineole (11.70–51.88 %), α-terpineol (12.17–25.64 %), linalool (38.11–78.98%), 4-terpineol (3.71–10.11 %), caryophyllene (1.23–4.90 %), β-pinene (1.09–4.02 %), and d-cadinene (1.01–3.28 %). This research shows that the highest yields of essential oils are found on the western slopes of Mount Ciremai National Park. © 2023 Lesotekhnicheski Universitet (University of Forestry).
