Abstract
Roots and seeds of Angelica archangelica L. were collected from different localities in western, eastern and northern Finnish Lapland. Two root samples and 33 seed samples were extracted with n-hexane and analysed by GC–MS using a chiral β-cyclodextrin phase. Major compounds in the root oils were (−)-α-pinene (19–42%) and (+)-sabinene (21–28%). One of the oils contained 22% (+)-3-carene but the other one had none at all. The seed oils were dominated by (−)-β-phellandrene (>60%). Other major compounds were (+)-sabinene, (+)-α-pinene, myrcene, (−)-α-phellandrene, (−)-α-pinene and (−)-limonene. Some statistically significant differences between seed samples from different localities could also be found. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
