Abstract

ABSTRACT The essential oils obtained from leaves and rhizomes of Peucedanum zenkeri Engl. were analyzed by GC and GC/MS; both samples contained the same number of components (35 identified) but in different amounts. Limonene (23.2%), myrcene (8.9%) and myristicin (7.6%) were found to be the major constituents of the leaf oil, whereas the rhizome oil was rich in dillapiole (19.1%), δ-3-carene (14.7%) and myristicin (9.0%).
