Essential oil composition of Hypericum annulatum Moris (Hypericaceae) from Serbia

The essential oil of fresh aerial parts of Hypericum annulatum Moris obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. One-hundred-sixteen constituents identified accounted for 98.9% of the total oil. The major components of the oil were: α-pinene (56.3%), (E)-β-ocimene (10.2%), undecane (...

Description
Summary:The essential oil of fresh aerial parts of Hypericum annulatum Moris obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. One-hundred-sixteen constituents identified accounted for 98.9% of the total oil. The major components of the oil were: α-pinene (56.3%), (E)-β-ocimene (10.2%), undecane (6.3%), myrcene (4.3%) and β-pinene (4.2%). The volatile profile of H. annulatum differs significantly from that of the rest of the taxa belonging to the section Adenosepalum, as well as from previously investigated Hypericum species growing in the same region (southeastern Serbia).
