Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the volatile components of Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench subsp. aucheri that belongs to the Helichrysum genus, belonging to the Asteraceae family, one of the important families for Turkey and generally known as ‘ölmez çiçek, altın otu or mantuvar’ in Turkey. To determine volatile components, leaves and flowers of Helichrysum arenarium subsp. aucheri specimens were collected from Isparta Aksu and Adana Feke villages in Turkey, and dried at room temperature. Then, volatile components were determined with HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis. As a result of the findings obtained, a total of 86 volatile components were found for Helichrysum species. A total of 64 volatile components were determined for Helichrysum arenarium subsp. aucheri specimens collected from Isparta Aksu region, whereas the main components were found as trans-Caryophyllene (24.33%), .α.-humulene (16.14%), α- pinene (14.79%); and dl-limonene (11.98%), respectively; and a total of 87 volatile components for specimens collected from Adana Feke region, whereas the main components were found as trans-caryophyllene (24.57%), α-pinene (22.5%), β-pinene (8.98%), limonene (8.21%), respectively.
