Volatile compounds of Peucedanum chryseum (Boiss. Et Heldr.) Chamberlain Fruits

Abstract

In this study, we report the isolation of volatile constituents of Peucedanum chryseum (Boiss. et Heldr.) Chamberlain fruits collected from Honaz, Denizli in Turkey. The volatile constituents obtained from whole fruits by micro-hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC and GC/MS, simultaneously. Thirty nine components of the whole fruits were characterized representing 99.4% of the sample. The major components of the whole fruits were α-pinene (72.8%) and β-pinene (20.4%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons were observed as the main constituents in the sample.
