GC/EI-MS investigation of cultivated Petroselinum hortense Hoffm. fruit volatile oil from Northwest Iran
Mohammad Bagher HASSANPOURAGHDAM

The volatile oil constituents of cultivated Petroselinum hortense Hoffm. fruits from Northwest Iran were identified and quantified by GC/EI-MS. Twentyeight components were identified, comprising 98.7% of total oil. Phenylpropanoids (70.7%) were the main group of volatile oil components, followed by monoterpene hydrocarbons (26.1%). Oxygenated monoterpenes (1.5%) and sesquiterpenes (0.4%) had a minor part in the essential oil profile. Myristicine (43.1%), apiole (13.9%), α-pinene (11.5%), β-pinene (9.6%), elemicine (7.6%) and allyltetramethoxy benzene (6.1%) were the main components of essential oil. Sabinene has been determined in appreciable amounts (2.8%). In total, the volatile oil of P. hortense fruits studied in the present experiment was characterized as a volatile oil rich in phenylpropanoid derivatives along with substantial amounts of α-pinene and β-pinene, which may be used as a possible source of these highly valued volatile oil compounds in pharmaceutical, food and fragrance industries.
