Abstract
SUMMARY Aim: The present study aims to isolate and analyse the essential oil of the flowers of Pancratium maritimum. Methods: The n-hexane extract of the flowers of Pancratium maritimum was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Essential oil components were identified by interpretation of their MS spectra and comparing them with the reported data. Results: Twenty components, representing about 94.10 % of the total composition of the oil, were identified. The predominant constituents were Methyl palmitate (31.030%), Octadecanoic acid methyl ester (12.620%), Caryophylline (10.520%), Phenyl ethyl alcohol (9.444%) and P-methyl anisole (8.167%). Conclusion: The resulting oil components showed the impact of the environment and area where the plant grew on the components of the essential oil.
