Yield & Composition of volatiles extraction by various extraction techniques 
Moretta P (2001) Extraction and variation of the essential oil from Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Ph.D. thesis, University of W.A.
Summary 
• Significant divergence found between populations for a range of characters 
• Significant tree-to-tree variation for important oil characters 
• Variation in heartwood %, which is independent of DBH 
• Heartwood and bark-blaze colour have no relationship with heartwood oil quantity or quality and 
cannot be used as a selection criteria 
• Considerable potential for short term improvement in oil quality using highest quality individuals 
from each population 
• Two highest quality populations (Santo & Malekula) are known to have a high incidence of 
homozygosity. 
• Require greater species survey to identify other ‘high quality’ populations and individuals. 
• Continuous variation found for all oil constituents 
• Very little evidence for vegetation type to have any influence on the oil characters measured 
• Three possible candidate species for use in the host by genotype interaction experiment 
Micromellum minutum, Pterocarpus indicus & Litsea imthurnei
Santalum austrocaledonicum

  • 37. Summary • Significant divergence found between populations for a range of characters • Significant tree-to-tree variation for important oil characters • Variation in heartwood %, which is independent of DBH • Heartwood and bark-blaze colour have no relationship with heartwood oil quantity or quality and cannot be used as a selection criteria • Considerable potential for short term improvement in oil quality using highest quality individuals from each population • Two highest quality populations (Santo & Malekula) are known to have a high incidence of homozygosity. • Require greater species survey to identify other ‘high quality’ populations and individuals. • Continuous variation found for all oil constituents • Very little evidence for vegetation type to have any influence on the oil characters measured • Three possible candidate species for use in the host by genotype interaction experiment Micromellum minutum, Pterocarpus indicus & Litsea imthurnei
