Abstract

The aerial parts of coriandrum sativum at two stage of plant growth (at the begining and fall flowering and the fruits were collected from Alborz Research Station.
The aerial parts were steam distilled and the fruits were hydrodistilled for Their oils. The olis were obtaind at yield of 0.47% for the fruits and 0.43% and 0.18% for the aerial part at the begining and fall flowering stages respectively.
Chemical components of the oils were identifieal by GC and GC/MS. The oils of aerial parts contained mainly C10 - C16 aldehydes.
20 Compounds were characterized for fruit oil with Linalool (86.5%), y-terpinene (2.8%) a- Pinene (1.4%) and geranyl acetate (1.2%) as the major componente.
