the water-distilled essential oil from dried aerial parts of achillea tenuifolia lam. was analysed by gc and cg/ms. 48 components were characterized representing 88% of the total oil. camphor (18%), 1,8-cineole + limonene (9%) and spathulenol (7%) were the major constituents of the oil obtained in a yield of 0.23%.

 Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is an important medicinal plant that contained a wide range of secondary metabolites such as rosmarinic acid. In this study, essential oil content and composition and rosmarinc acid were determined at three phenological stages (before flowering, full flowering and fruit set stages). Hydro distillation method was used for essential oil extraction and GC and ...

The essential oil composition and genetic variability of common sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) and its three ornamental cultivars ('Purpurascens', 'Tricolor', and 'Kew Gold') as well as Judean sage ( Salvia judaica Boiss.) were analyzed by GC-FID, GC-MS, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Common sage and its cultivars contained the same volatile compounds; only the ratio of compounds d...

The aerial part of Artemisia iwayomogi KITAMURA has traditionally been used for antitumour, immunomodulating, antimutagenic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antipyretic, diuretic, liver protective effect, and choleretic purposes in Korea. The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from A. iwayomogi was analyzed by GC/MS. The essential oil and its major compounds were tested ...

The present study describes the phytochemical profile and antimicrobial activity of Matricaria chamomilla essential oil. The sample of essential oil was obtained from the aerial parts of the plant by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC–MS. A total 55 compounds were identified mainly including α-Pinene (22.11%), Camphene (10.8%), Sabinene (4%), Limonene(5.64%),1,8-Cineole(6.45%), Camphor (4%) a...

According to distribution of genus Achillea, two main centers of diversity occur in S.E. Europe and S.W. Asia. Diversified essential oil compositions from Balkan Peninsula have been numerously reported. However, report on essential oils of Achillea species growing in Turkey, which is one of the main centers of diversity, is very limited. This paper represents the chemical compositions of the es...
