Abstract

The composition of the oils from flowers of three Iranian Achillea species (A. albicaulis C.A.Mey, A. biberseinii, A.filipendula Lam.) were collected during the flowering period. The essential oils obtaned by steam distillation. The percentage of all three oils were 0.20% v/w calculated on the dry weight analyzed by GC and GC/MS, all three oils consisted mainly of monoterpenes. The majore constituents of A. albicaulis C.A.Mey were y-Muurolene (13.29%), a-Pinene (9.99%), Camphor (9.35%), p-Cymene (8.48%), and trans-Carveol (8.41%), and A.bibersheinii were Piperitone (45.92%), 1,8-Cineole (17.64%), limonene (5.63%) and p-Cymene (5.17%), A.filipendula Lam were Limonene (26.70%), Carvacrol (9.26%), 1,8-Cineole (8.66%), borneol (7.82%) and Germacrene D (5.62%).
