Abstract

The hydro-distilled volatile oils, obtained from dried endocarp and hulls of Persian bay laurel (Laurus nobilis var. angustifolia) from Laueaceae family were analyzed by GC/MS. Thirteen and twelve compounds consisting 81.6% and 89.1% of the total components were identified of the oils obtained with a yield of 3% and 1.2% (w/w) respectively. Differences of some compounds between endocarp and hulls oils were evinced. While the oil of endocarp contained 1,8- cineole (46.7%), α-terpinyl acetate (7.4%), β-pinene (7.3%) and α-phellandrene (4.7%), the oil of hulls contained 1,8-cineole (40.5%), trans-β-ocimene (22.1%), caryophyllene oxide (6.9%) and α-terpinyl acetate (5.0%). © 2013 by Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences.
