The hydrodistilled essential oil of aerial parts of Thymus serpyllum L. (Lamiaceae), cultivated in the Kumaon region of western Himalaya was analyzed by GC and GCMS. Twenty-nine compounds, representing 91.8% of the oil, were identified. The major components were thymol (58.8%), p-cymene (5.7%), thymol methyl ether (4.0%), borneol (3.8%), sabinene (3.4%), γ-terpinene (3.4%) and carvacrol methyl ether (3.2%).

Variations in the essential oil composition of aerial parts of pineapple weed (Chamomilla suaveolens (Pursh) Rydb.) growing wild in Estonia, were determined using GC/FID and GC/MS. Forty-four components were identified, representing over 90% of the total oil. Nine compounds have not been mentioned in the literature before. The principal biologically active compounds in C. suaveolens oils were (Z)-en-yne-dicycloether (17.0 – 40.7%), (E)-β-farnesene (19.5– 32.2%), geranyl isovaleriate (8.4 –18.4%), palmitic acid (0.3 – 9.4%) and myrcene (1.1 – 7.9%). The investigation seems to approve the benefit of using aerial parts of pineapple weed as the substitute for flowers.

Hydrodistilled essential oil of the aerial parts of Laggera crispata (Vahl) Hepper & Wood, collected from the Kumaon region of the western Himalayas was analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Eighty constituents, accounting for 83.9 % of the total oil composition, were identified. The oil was mainly dominated by sesquiterpenoids (45.3 %) and benzenoid compounds (33.9 %). Among them, 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene (32.2 %), 10-epi-?-eudesmol (14.7 %), ?-caryophyllene (6.9 %), and caryophyllene oxide (5.4 %) were major components of the oil.

The essential oil of the aerial parts of Centaurea sempervirens L. (Asteraceae), synonym : Cheirolophus sempervirens (L.) Pomel, was obtained by steam distillation and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. 30 components were identified corresponding to 78.5% of the total oil. Among the identified constituents, oxygenated compounds represented 33.4%, from which 21.2% were hydrocarbons, 10.7% were sesquiterpenes. The non oxygenated compounds were hydrocarbons (9.8%). Phthalates represented 35.3% of the total oil. The major components were 6,10,14-trimethylpentadecan-2-one (12.4%) and epi-torilenol (5.1%). This is the first report on the chemical composition of the essential oil of this species.

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Ballota nigra L. ssp foetida obtained from the flowering aerial parts was analyzed by GC/MS. From the 37 identified constituents of the oil, β-caryophyllene (20.0%), germacrene D (18.0%) and caryophyllene oxide (15.0%) were the major components. The oil was active against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as against three Candida species.

Artemisia lehmanniana Bunge. is a genus of small herbs and shrubs found in northern temperate regions. It belongs to the important family compositae(Asteraceae). The chemical composition of the  essential oilsfrom aerial parts of A.lehmanniana growing wild in Iran has been studied. Oils were obtained byhydrodistillation(HD), microwave assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and solid phase micro extraction (SPME) methods and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Nine compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using HD representing 94.7% of the total oil. The main constituents of the oil were camphor(52.7%),1,8-cineol(21.2%),cis-thujone(8.2%) and octane(5.0%).Ten compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using MAHD representing 96.5% of the total oil.The main constituents of the oil were camphor(40.8%),1,8-cineole(30.9%), trans-thujone (8.5%) and camphene(7.0%). five compounds were identified in essential oil from plant was extracted using SPME representing 97.7% of the total oil. The main constituents of oil were camphor(40.8%),1,8-cineol(32.9%),cis-thujone(12.0%) and camphene(6.7%).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i2.12044 International Journal of Life Sciences 9 (2) : 2015; 25-27
