Determination of the Essential Oil from Root and Aerial Parts of Artemisia dracunculus L. cultivated in central Iran

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from Artemisia dracunculus root and aerial parts cultivated in central Iran, were analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Thirty-three components of the root oil were identified. The most prominent components were acenaphthene (67.5%) and 2,4-pentad...

Description
Summary:The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from Artemisia dracunculus root and aerial parts cultivated in central Iran, were analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Thirty-three components of the root oil were identified. The most prominent components were acenaphthene (67.5%) and 2,4-pentadiynyl–benzene (22.2%). The analysis of aerial parts revealed the presence of sixteen compounds identified in the oil; major constituents were methyl chavicol (76.6%), (E)-beta-ocimene (11.0%), (Z)-b-ocimene (6.9%) and limonene (2.5%).
