Abstract

In this study, the analysis of seed and leaf essential oil of Heracleum anisactis Boiss. & Hohen., as an endemic species, was reported. The plant parts of H. anisactis were collected from Dizin Mountain at three altitudes of 2100, 2600 and 3200 m. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Twenty and twenty-two components were identified in the leaf and seed essential oil, respectively. According to the results, the main constituents of leaf oil were octyl acetate (66/9%, 67.4% and 69.3%), octyl butyrate
(3.7%, 3.5% and 5.6%) and hexyl isobutyrate (3.3%, 3.8%, 4.5%), at altitudes of 2100 m, 2600 m, and 3200m, respectively. In the seed oil, octyl acetate (69.4%, 72.4% and 76.5%) and hexyl butyrate (3.2%, 4.8%, 6.2%) were identified as the mail constituents at altitudes of 2100, 2600 and 3200m, respectively.
