The Essential Oil Profiles of Chaerophyllum crinitum and C. macrospermum Growing wild in Turkey

Abstract

The current study reports the essential oil compositions of the aerial parts of Chaerophyllum crinitum Boiss. and Chaerophyllum macrospermum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex Hohen. collected from Bitlis and Hakkari in Turkey, respectively. The essential oils, which were obtained with water distillation were analyzed by GC and GC-MS, simultaneously. The essential oil of C. crinitum were characterized with (E)-β-ocimene (38.1%) and terpinolene (12.7%), while terpinolene (21.4%), myristicin (18.9%), p-cymen-8-ol (11.9%) were identified as major components for C. macrospermum essential oil.
