Abstract

In this study, the fatty
acid compositions of Anthemis aciphylla var.
aciphylla, Anthemis pseudocotula, Anthemis macrotis and Anthemis coelopoda var. bourgaei growing in Izmir, Turkey were
determined. The fatty acid composition was analyzed using gas chromatography. Generally,
C 4:0 butyric acid, C 18:2 linoleic acid and C 6:0 caproic acid were found to
be the major fatty acids in all species.

Keywords
