Chemical profile of the essential oil from Chaerophyllum Khorossanicum czerniak. ex schischk of Iran %K Chaerophyllum khorossanicum Czerniak. ex Schischk Essential Oil Limonene Methyl Eugeno β %K Ocimene‎ %R 10.22034/ajgc.2022.3.1 %X The aim of this study is to determine the chemical composition of essential oils of Chaerophyllum ‎khorassanicum belonging to the Apiaceae family for the first time. Identification of essential oils ‎is necessary, for food, cosmetics- health industry, and medicinal uses. The plant was collected at ‎the flowering stage of Khorassan Razavi Province in Iran, Farizi Village. The shoot parts of the ‎specimen were dried in the laboratory and crushed to particles. The essential oils were obtained ‎by hydro-distillation using Clevenger and analyzed by GC-MS. Fifty-one components were ‎identified in Chaerophyllum khorassanicum essential oils which accounted for 97.2% of the ‎essence. The major chemical category of the volatile compounds were the monoterpene ‎hydrocarbons (65.5%), followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (24.5%). In particular, the main ‎components were limonene 32.1%, methyl eugenol 16.2%, and β-Ocimene 15.6%. In conclusion, ‎monoterpene hydrocarbons are characteristic and represent excellent chemotaxonomical markers ‎for Chaerophyllum khorassanicum. %U https://www.ajgreenchem.com/article_154140_9f42bb84c7b7a8bc031d91cdadd2ae18.pdf
