Chemical composition of volatile oils
obtained from the roots, fruits and aerial parts of Glaucosciadium cordifolium
(Boiss.) B.L.  Burtt&P.H. Davis
(Apiaceae) were analyzed using gas chromatography-flame ionization
detector/mass spectrometry, simultaneously. Furthermore, antimicrobial and
antioxidant activities of G. cordifolium volatile oils were investigated for
possible utilization.  Total of 62
volatile compounds were identified in G. cordifolium essential oils, where the
main component was characterized as α-pinene in all parts, commonly. The other
main components were β-pinene (15.7%), (Z)-β-ocimene (14%) and sabinene (7%) in
the volatile oil of the aerial part; sabinene (10.1%), β-pinene (10.1%) and
α-phellandrene (5.3%) in the essential oil of the fruits; hexadecane (12.2%),
tetradecane (11.9%), octadecane (7.4%) in the essential oil obtained from the
root, respectively.  The in vitro microdilution
method was used for the antimicrobial activity testing against Salmonella typhi
ATCC 6539, Acinetobacter baumanii ATCC 19606, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579,
Staphylococcus aereus ATCC 6538, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115,
Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504 and Mycobacterium avium ATCC 25291. The best
antimicrobial activity of the volatile oils was against L. monocytogenes among
the tested microorganisms. In addition, DPPH•-ABTS• scavenging activity was
tested, none of the essential oils showed any significant antioxidant activity.
