Abstract:

Tagetes is a genus of 56 species of annual and perennial mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae or Compositae).In this research our goal was recognizing the main components of the plant to extract useful ones. Essential oils of the leaves, seeds and flowers of Tagets minuta L., growing wild in Iran, were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Identification of the constituents of the oils was done by comparison of their mass spectra and retention indices with those given in the literature and the authentic samples. Twenty-six components were identified in the essential oils of the investigated organs. The main components extracted from the leaf oils were dihydrotageton (45.9%), cis-β-ocimene (11.9%) and borneol (11.1%), and those of the seed oils included dihydrotagetone (21.0%) and benzoic acid-4-hydroxy-methyl ester (33.5%).Also, trans-ocimenone (27.0%), cis-β-ocimene (26.0%) and cis-ocimenone (17.6%) were the major constituents in the flower oils

Volatile constituents of essential oils isolated from flowers and leaves of Eupatorium cannabinum L. from Iran

Hydro-distilled volatile oils from the flowers and leaves of Eupatorium cannabinum L. which gathered in Touchal on Mountain Alborz (Tehran province) in Iran were investigated mainly by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Thirty-nine components were identified in the oils. The main constituents of the essential oils in flowers and leaves were germacrene D (27.3%, 37.1%), gemacrene B (12.4%, 11.7%) an...

Chemical Composition of the Essential Oils of Peucedanum ruthenicum M. Bieb. Leaves, Flowers and Fruits

The essential oils of Peucedanum ruthenicum M. Bieb. (Umbelliferae) leaves, flowers and fruits were prepared by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS and the composition of the three essential oils were compared. Thirty-three, thirty-seven and thirty-one compounds were identified in leaves, flowers and fruits essential oils representing 89.13%, 88.66% and 76.45% of total oils respectiv...
