Chemical Variations in the Essential Oil of Sideritis tragoriganum

Abstract

The essential oil composition from Sideritis tragoriganum has been investigated by capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Among the 47 identified mono- and sesquiterpenes, α-bisabolol is the most prominent component. Correlation analysis of essential oil components from this population of S. tragoriganum with two other geographically distinct populations revealed the existence of unrelated chemical types.
