Comparison of the essential oils of Prangos turcica A. Duran, M. Sagiroglu et H. Duman fruits obtained by different isolation techniques

Abstract

The essential oils from fruits of Prangos turcica A. Duran, M. Sagiroglu et H. Duman were obtained by hydrodistillation (HD), microdistillation (MD), micro-steam distilled solid-phase microextraction (MSD-SPME) techniques and then analyzed by GC and GC/MS methods. The oils showed similar composition with some quantitative differences. The main components of the oils were found to be alpha-humulene, germacrene D, naphthalene, terpinolene, p-cymene, gamma-elemene and bornyl acetate.
