Abstract
Artemisia lehmanniana Bunge. is a genus of small herbs and shrubs found in northern temperate regions. It belongs to the important family compositae(Asteraceae). The chemical composition of the essential oilsfrom aerial parts of A.lehmanniana growing wild in Iran has been studied. Oils were obtained byhydrodistillation(HD), microwave assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and solid phase micro extraction (SPME) methods and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Nine compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using HD representing 94.7% of the total oil. The main constituents of the oil were camphor(52.7%),1,8-cineol(21.2%),cis-thujone(8.2%) and octane(5.0%).Ten compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using MAHD representing 96.5% of the total oil.The main constituents of the oil were camphor(40.8%),1,8-cineole(30.9%), trans-thujone (8.5%) and camphene(7.0%). five compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using SPME representing 97.7% of the total oil. The main constituents of oil were camphor(40.8%),1,8-cineol(32.9%),cis-thujone(12.0%) and camphene(6.7%).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i2.12044 International Journal of Life Sciences 9 (2) : 2015; 25-27
