Abstract

The essential oil of fennel leaves, flowers, fruits and stems was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Twenty constituents were identified, which constituted 98.3% of the total integrated area of the detected GC peaks. The concentration of the main compound (E)-anethole varied from 50.1% in fruits to 73.6% in stems. Limonene (1.5–20.7%), fenchone (3.6–15.9%), α-pinene (1.9–19.5%) and α-phellandrene (2.4–8.8%) were the other quantitatively important constituents.
