Essential oil Composition of some Mongolian<i>Artemisia</i>Species

Abstract

Abstract Essential oils from three Mongolian Artemisia species, A. adamsii Bess, A. santolinifolia Krasch, and A. glauca Pall. Ex. Willd, were analyzed by GC-MS. Seventy nine constituents were identified in the three oils. α-Thujone (13.10 – 67.12%) and β-thujone (11.35 – 58.77%), 1.8–cineole (14.32 – 21.37%) E-nerolidol (13.89%) were detected in A. adamsii and A. santolinifolia, as major components respectively, while methyl eugenol (46.77%). (Z)-β-ocimene (11.27%) and terpinolene (9.34%) formed major constituents of A. glauca.
