Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) fruit is well known for its oleaginous and edible seed. Less information is available about the hull constituted by the epicarp and the mesocarp. This part of the fruit contains an essential oil that can be valorized. Tunisia is one of the countries cultivating pistachio trees. This work presents essential oil composition of pistachio hulls (Mateur variety) from different geographical localities: Grombalia (North-East), Kairouan (Middle) and Sfax (Middle-East). Yields were more important in Sfax samples (0.53% on a dry weight basis). Alpha-terpinolene was the major compound for Grombalia fruits (35.7%), whereas Kairouan and Sfax samples where characterized by alpha-pinene (42.5 and 43.8% respectively). For all samples, monoterpene hydrocarbons predominated (more than 79.8% of the essential oil).
阿月浑子（Pistacia vera L.）果实以其含油且可食用的种子而闻名。关于由外果皮和中果皮构成的果壳的信息较少。果实的这一部分含有一种可加以利用的精油。突尼斯是种植阿月浑子树的国家之一。这项工作展示了来自不同地理区域（东北部的格罗姆巴利亚、中部的凯鲁万和中东的斯法克斯）的阿月浑子果壳（马图尔品种）的精油成分。斯法克斯样品的产量更高（以干重计为0.53%）。α-萜品烯是格罗姆巴利亚果实的主要成分（35.7%），而凯鲁万和斯法克斯样品的主要成分是α-蒎烯（分别为42.5%和43.8%）。对于所有样品，单萜烃类占主导（超过精油的79.8%）。
