Description
Summary:Essential oils of Haplophyllum tuberculatum (Forssk.) A. Juss., produced from plants collected in the United Arab Emirates, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The composition of the oils varied considerably. Those obtained from plants collected in May (1997 and 2001) were similar, with alpha-phellandrene (10.7-32.9%) being the major component and with significant amounts of beta-caryophyllene (6.3-12.8%), beta-pinene (7.6-8.0%), limonene (4.0-9.6%) and delta-3-carene (5.5-6.0%). However, the oil distilled from plants collected in April (1998) had major components of linalool (15.0%), linalyl acetate (10.6%), beta-caryophyllene (9.7%) and alpha-terpineol (6.7%). The compositions of all three oils prepared from UAE collected plants differed significantly from those reported for the same species collected in Egypt and Iran.
