The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves and young twigs of rosemary, were analyzed by GC / FID and GC/ MS. These essential oils are characterized by the presence of $\alpha$ and $\beta$-pinene, camphene, 1,8-cineole and camphor compounds. The quality of these essential oils met the AFNOR NF ISO 4730 rosemary Morocco kind (1,8-cineole). The evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis showed low efficacy against microorganisms tested which were all inhibited from 1/100 v/v except for Penicillium expansum whose growth was stopped at the concentration 1/250 v/v.", optnote="Export Date: 31 December 2014", optnote="exported from refbase (http://php.ecofog.gf/refbase/show.php?record=574), last updated on Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:09:48 -0300", opturl="http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84919339382&partnerID=40&md5=653c7ec3c76d1315b71765538d0ac7ea" }
