Abstract

Analysis of the essential oil of Juniperus polycarpos (Persian Juniper) by capillary GC and GC/MS revealed presence of monoterpene hydrocarbons (76.86%), oxygenated monoterpenes (2.95%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and their alcohols (20.19%). The major component was found to be α-pinene.

Abstract [Persian]

تجزیه روغنهای اسانسی گونه ارس (Juniperus polycarpos) از طریق جی سی و جی سی/ام اس وجود 86/76 % هیدروکربنهای منوترپنی، 95/2 % منو‌ترپن‌های اکسیژنه و 19/20 % هیدروکربنهای سسکوترپنی و الکلهای مربوطه را در ترکیب آنها نشان داد. آلفاپینین از اجزای اصلی ترکیبات مذکور تشخیص داده شد.
