Abstract

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fruits of Tordylium pestalozzae Boiss., Tordylium pustulosum Boiss. and Tordylium lanatum (Boiss.) Boiss. (Umbelliferae) were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. In total, 47 compounds were characterized, representing 95.9% of T pestalozzae oil, 30 compounds were characterized, representing 98.3% of T pustulosum oil and 38 compounds were characterized, representing 97.2% of the oil of T lanatum. The main constituents were octyl hexanoate (56.0%), octyl octanoate (15.7%), octanol (14.5%) and hexadecanoic acid (6.0%) in T pestalozzae; octyl hexanoate (68.8%), octyl 2-methylbutyrate (17.8%) and octanol (4.2%) in T pustulosum; and octyl hexanoate (58.8%) and octanol (21.5%) in the oils of T lanatum.
