Composition of The Volatile Oils of Two Achillea L. (Asteraceae) Taxa from Turkey

Abstract

 

The essential oils of water-distilled aerial parts of Achillea arabica Kotschy and Achillea coarctata Poir., were analyzed by GC-MS. As a result of twenty-six and twenty-seven compounds were identified representing 96.7% and 92.53% of the oils, respectively. The major constituents of A. arabica were 1,8-cineole (42.33%), trans-chrysanthenon (12.71%), a-pinene (8.29%), b-cymen (5.42%), and camphene (5.10%), whereas 1,8-cineole (34.22%), camphor (9.24%), cis-sabinene hydrate (8.35%), caryophyllene oxide (7.59%), and borneol (7.20%) were the main compounds of A. coarctata.
