Abstract

Water-distilled essential oil from Prangos ferulacea (Umbelliferae) roots was analysed by GC-MS for the frst time.

Te oil of P. ferulace a roots consisted of 16 monoterpene hydrocarbons (78.4%), 17 oxygenated monoterpenes (9.4%), 12 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (5.3%) and three oxygenated sesquiterpenes (1.0%). Five nonterpenic compounds also comprised 2.2% of the oil.
