Abstract
The essential oil content in the flowers of Persian Yellow Rose (Rosa foetida Herrm.) growing wild in Kurdistan, west of Iran was found to be 0.1 % based on the fresh weight. The oil was analysed by capillary GC and GC-MS. Six constituents, representing 69 % of the oil were identified. The major components of the oil were n-nonadecane (28.0 %), 1-heptadecene (16.0 %) and n-dodecanoic acid (12.0 %). The quality of this investigated rose oil was found not to be comparable to that obtained from the other Rosa species.
