Abstract

The compostion of the oils from flower and leaf of Achillea eriophora DC were collected during the flowering priod from 25 km away from Shiraz in park Bamoo alt. 1650 m. in July 2003. The essential oils were obtained by different methods of distillation ( steam distillation and hydrodistillation), the percentage of oils for flower and leaf were 1% and 0.9% and 1.2% and 0.9% respectively, and calculated on the dry weight, and analysis by GC and GC/MS.
The major constituents determined by steam distillation method in flower were 1,8-cineole (45%), b-pinene (16.6%) and (E)-nerolidol (7.6%) and in leaf were 1,8-cineole (41.5%), (E)-nerolidol (10%) and b-pinene (9.8%) and by hydrodistillation method in flower were 1,8-cineole (41.3%), b-pinene (12.4%) and a-thujene (6.5%) and in leaf were 1,8-cineole (41.%), b-pinene (13.8%) and terpinen-4-ol (9.1%), respectively.
