Abstract
The composition of the essential oil obtained from different parts of Crithmum muritimum L., growing in Amorgos island (Greece) and their interpopulation variability were investigated by GC and GUMS. The yield of the essential oil from various parts of the plants in the examined populations, varied from 0.08-0.99%. Monoterpenes constituted the more important portion of the oil while a few sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were detected in small amounts. The major compounds detected in all cases were p-cyrnene (0.8-15.8%), methyl thymol (4.4-41.0%), terpinen-4-01 (3.9-16.0%), sabinene (1.1-24.7%), β-phellandrene (0-10.3%), γ-terpinene (6.9-28.6%), or even dillapiole (0-48.8%) in one case. The results obtained from GUMS analysis of the oils were subjected to multivariate analysis (cluster analysis).
