Essential Oil Composition of Wild Growing Apiaceae from Europe and the Mediterranean

Abstract: In this overview, the essential oil composition of more than 150 species from about 50 genera of the Apiaceae is reviewed. Essential oil components encountered in Apiaceae proved to be very diverse; they include monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, rarely diterpenes, phenylpropanoids, phthalides, octanol and octyl esters, trimethylbenzaldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes. In assessing the data one has to keep in mind that the essential oil amount and composition is influenced by many factors, including geographic and ge… Show more

“…is also well known to have high antioxidant activity. Active ingredients include mainly essential oil, saponins, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids [ 30 , 54 56 ]. Some of the components isolated from the extracts of M. athamanticum were cinnamic acid esters (methyl ferulate, methyl caffeate, quinic acid, and feruloyl quinic acid), phthalide derivatives (ligustilide, butylidenephthalide, and butylphthalide), and sterol derivatives (cetyl alcohol and sitosterol) [ 57 – 59 ].…”

“…As stated by Chizzola [14], different volatiles can be identified in the essential oils from Apiaceae, but monoterpenes are frequently found and particularly α-pinene is amongst the major compounds in many species. This is in agreement with the composition of B. graeca, where α-pinene is present in large amount (60.9%).…”

“…incisa yielded small amounts of a pale yellow oil (0.05-0.17%). The amount of oil obtained was reduced in comparison with other members of the Apiaceae that are well known and used as condiment or spices [28][29]. However, it would be of interest to check other species of this genus to contrast this.…”
