Chemical constituents of the volatile oils of stachys cretica subsp. Anatolica and stachys lavandulifolia from seydisehir, Turkey

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine volatile oil components for leaf and flowers of Stachys cretica subsp. anatolica Rech. and Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl. in different reaping periods, such as pre-flowering, flowering, and post-flowering by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) after solid phase micro extraction (SPME). To achieve this aim, leaf and flower samples were collected from Tınaztepe Cavern province of Seydisehir, in 2015 and 2016. A total of 62 components were determined for Stachys cretica subsp. anatolica, with benzaldehyde (46.34%), β-caryophyllene (11.23%) and (E)-2-hexenal (8.50%) being the main components. Additionally, 55 volatile components were found for S. lavandulifolia, and the main components were β-phellandrene, myrcene, and α-pinene at 27.71%, 11.56% and 11.20% respectively.
