Abstract
The essential oil composition of fruits from Smyrnium perfoliatum obtained by hydrodistillation has been investigated. A large proportion of the oil was composed of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (60.5%) with germacrene D (45.2%) as main constituent. The fraction of oxygenated compounds (29.8%) was dominated by furanosesquiterpenoids (17.3%). Among them 1β-acetoxyfuranoeudesm-3-ene (9.0%), 1β-acetoxyfuranoeudesm-4(15)-ene (4.7%) and glechomafuran (1.3%) could be identified. Additionally, small amounts of the furanoazulene linderazulene were isolated and are found to be responsible for the deep violet colour of the oil.
