Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oil from the leaves of carrot (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus (Hoffman.) Arcang. (Apiaceae) from Iran was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The oil yield obtained by hydrodistillation was 0.2 % (v/w). Ninety-one compounds, accounting for 97.1 % of the oil, were identified. The main class of the compounds was found to be monoterpenes (30.0 %), sesquiterpenes (27.8 %) and phenyl propanes (26.4 %). The major constituents were trans-anethole (23.5 %) and myrcene (14.5 %).
