Abstract
Heracleum platytaenium Boiss. is a monocarpic and strongly aromatic plant that is endemic for Turkey. Many studies on activities, constituents and composition of the essential oil of different parts of this species and other Heracleum species have been conducted. However, as far as we are concerned, the essential oil composition of the roots has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated the essential oil composition of the roots of H. playtaenium and identified p-cymene (33.9%), terpinolene (14.3%), γ-terpinene (7.1%), elemicine (3.1%) and myristicine (2.9%) as the major constituents.
