The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the flowers of the Algerian Pituranthos scoparius (Coss. & Dur.)Benth.et Hook. (Apiaceae), an endemic species of North Africa, were analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-one compounds were identified accounting for 99.3 % of the whole essential oil, mainly represented by monoterpenes, followed by phenylpropanoid derivatives. The main constituents of the essential oil were myristicin (24.1%), α-pinene (17.4%), α-phellandrene (15.6%) and sabinene (7.5%)

Abstract
The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the flowers of the Algerian Pituranthos scoparius (Coss. & Dur.)Benth.et Hook. (Apiaceae), an endemic species of North Africa, were analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-one compounds were identified accounting for 99.3 % of the whole essential oil, mainly represented by monoterpenes, followed by phenylpropanoid derivatives. The main constituents of the essential oil were myristicin (24.1%), α-pinene (17.4%), α-phellandrene (15.6%) and sabinene (7.5%)File in questo prodotto:
