hydrodistillation by Clevenger dispositive. The essential oils obtained were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass
spectrometry and used for the study of the antifungal activity against five clinical strains of Candida albicans. The results of chemical
analysis revealed 40 constituents in Artemisia essential oil, where the major components were camphor (34.89%) and chrysantenone
(19.60%). While, the main component of peel and leaves of Citrus essential oils was the lineal (42.33%, 60.62%) respectively. The
lowest minimum inhibitory concentration value was found in the case of Artemisia essential oil (1.95l/ml) against the (S3) Candida
albicans strain. The experimental results confirmed that these extracts are marked by significant anti-fungal activity, which can be used
as alternative drugs against candidiasis.
