Essential oil components of fresh Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) herbs from different locations in Turkey

Abstract

Five different Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) obtained from different sources were cultivated under Hatay ecological conditions used as a plant material. To determine essential oil rate fresh herbs of coriander were analysed with Neo-Clevenger apparatus by the method steam distillation. Essential oil components were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) apparatus. Decanal (9.95-16.53), 2-Decanal (3.48-11.86), 1-Decanol (7.67-17.13), Cyclodecanol (4.46-13.78), 2-Dodecenal (5.42-12.65), Cyclododecanal (5.23-7.86) and 13-Tetradecanal (4.87- 11.19) were found main components.
