Abstract

The genius of Echinophora presents 4 aromatic species in Iran, two of them are endemic.
In this research, the aerial parts of E. sibthorpiana were collected in full flowering stage, from Tehran Provinc (north of Tehran). The plant materials were dried in room temprature and the essential oil isolated by steam distillation. The oil was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Among 17 compounds identified, the major components were delta-3-carene (31.8%), alpha-phellandrene (31.0%), methyl eugenol (16.9%), beta-phellandrene (5.3%) and p-cymene (4.7%).
This oil could be used in cosmetic-hygenic industries because of the high amounts of delta-3-carene and alpha-phellandrene. These compounds have very good smells and used in perfumes.
