Abstract

Constituents of the volatile oils of the leaf, ripe fruit and root of Capparis spinosa var. mucronifolia growing wild in Isfahan (Iran) were studied by TLC, GC and GC-MS methods. The leaf oil was composed of isothiocyanates, n- alkanes, terpenoids, a phenyl propanoid, an aldehyde and a fatty acid. The main components of this oil were thymol (26.4%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (11%), 2- hexenal (10.2%) and butyl isothiocyanate (6.3%). The volatile oils of the ripe fruit and the root were composed mainly of the methyl, isopropyl and sec-butyl isothioeyanates.
