Abstract:
Fresh flowers of Rosa damascena var. semperflorens (Midas Gülü, Yediveren Şam Gülü) that has been cultivated in Anatolia since the 8th century BC according to various sources were subjected to water distillation and micro distillation to obtain rose oil; phytosol extraction and solvent extraction to obtain rose concrete and rose absolute; and HS-SPME trapped volatiles. Oils, extracts and volatiles were analyzed by GC and GC/MS to identify their components. These data were compared with those of İsparta Rose Oil obtained in a paralel experiment. Main components of the Midas rose oil were characterized as citronellol (16.6 %), geraniol (12.9 %) and nerol (5.9 %). The ratio of citronellol/geraniol was found as near 1, different from that of İsparta rose oil.
