Seasonal Variation in the Composition of the Essential Oil of Crithmum maritimum L.

摘要: The seasonal variation in the composition of essential oil seafennel, Crithmum maritimum L., was studied by GC and GC-MS. Monoterpenes were found to be major components oil, amounting 97%. sesquiterpenes present a relatively small amount, constituting up 2% total oil. Although all monoterpenes showed fluctuations their relative amounts, most conspicuous ones recorded for sabinene (7-42%) γ-terpinene (26-55%). For dillapiole, only substituted phenylpropane derivative identified this which concentration ranged from 0.1% 7%, no defined pattern fluctuation observed.
