Abstract

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fruits of Tordylium trachycarpum (Boiss.) Al-Eisawi et Jury and Tordylium hasselquistiae DC. (Apiaceae) were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. In total, fifty-three compounds were characterized, representing 99.5% of the oil and sixty-one compounds were characterized, representing 98.8% of the oil of T. trachycarpuni and T. hasselquistiae, respectively. The main constituents were oetyl octanoate (79.9%), octanol (11.0%) and octanoic acid (2.9%) in T. trachycarpum and octyl hexanoate (72.7%), octyl octanoate (12.7%) and octanol (3.3%) in the oil of T. hasselquistiae.
