Abstract

The essential oil composition of flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. (Rutaceae) from Iran was analyzed for the first time using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Thirty six compounds comprising 92.2% of the total oil were characterized. The main components were b-caryophyllene (12.9%), limonene (9.7%), b-pinene (7.9%), linalool (7.4%), α -pinene (6.4%) and 1,8-cineole (5.5%). Volatile oil of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. flowering aerial parts was dominated by the high content of monoterpene hydrocarbons (39.2%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (23.2%).

Highlights

  • The essential oil composition of flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. (Rutaceae) from Iran was analyzed for the first time using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)

  • Juss. have been widely investigated in various regions from all over the world [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17] but to the best of our knowledge, there was no report on Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. and in this article essential oil composition of this endemic species is informed for the first time

  • Chemical composition of the volatile oil was investigated by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)

Summary

Introduction

The essential oil composition of flowering aerial parts of Haplophyllum buhsei Boiss. (Rutaceae) from Iran was analyzed for the first time using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Thirty six compounds comprising 92.2% of the total oil were characterized. The main components were -caryophyllene (12.9%), limonene (9.7%), -pinene (7.9%), linalool (7.4%), α-pinene (6.4%) and 1,8-cineole (5.5%).
