Abstract
Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica (Baneh) is a dominant native pistacia species throughout Iran plateau. About two million hectars of Iran, mostly on west and northwest, are suitable for Baneh cultivation and rehabitation. In this research samples are collected on july 1998 from Khojeer park which are in east of Tehran and the essential oils from fresh leaves obtained by steam distillation method and fruit sample by hydrodistillation method. The percentage of oils from female leave was 0.04% and for male was 0.07% and for fruit was 0.58% calculated on the fresh weight. The essential oils were analysed by capillary CC and GC/MS on DB-1 column. The major constituents for female leave were a-pinene (21.7%), 7-cadinene (19.3%), and myrcene (4.7 %), and for male leave were a-pinene (36.2%), y-cadinene (17.9 %) and B-pinene (6.3%) and for fruit were a-pinene (73.6 %), B-pinene (5.3 %), myrcene (3.3%) and camphene (2.3%)
