A study of the substances present in essential oils

Component composition of essential oils from four species of the genus Achillea growing in Kazakhstan

“…For A. sudetica, A. ledebourii, and A. cartilaginea the component composition was studied for the first time. The similarity of the principal components of the essential oil of A. filipendulina, santolina alcohol, 1,8-cineol, and borneol, and those in the literature [4,9] leads to the conclusion that the chemotype of the species cultivated at the Botanical Garden of the Institute of Phytochemistry was close to that growing in southern Kazakhstan. The component composition of the essential oils was analyzed by GC-MS in a Hewlett-Packard instrument with a quadrupole detector.…”

“…grows in the Caucasus and in Central Asia. The decoction is used in folk medicine as an abortifacient [3] and for gastrointestinal illnesses [4]. The flavonoid [5] and coumarin [6,7] contents have been reported.…”

“…The flavonoid [5] and coumarin [6,7] contents have been reported. The component composition of the essential oil of A. filipendulina was studied and found to contain borneol [8], santolina alcohol, filipendulol [4,9], 2-methylhept-2-ene, α-pinene and camphene [10][11][12], and linalool [13].…”

“…Dembitskii et al [4,9] carried out a detailed chemical investigation of this species. The essential oil obtained by steam distillation of raw material collected in South-Kazakhstan district was studied by GC after preliminary vacuum fractionation with subsequent chromatographic separation over aluminum oxide.…”
