COMPOSITION OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS OF IAJULA VISCOSA, I.GRAVEOLENS AND I. HELENIUM SUBSP. TURCORACEMOSA

Steam distilled essential oils from aerial parts of Inula viscosa, I. graveolens and from rhizomes of I. helellilr~n subsp. tlwcoruceinosa (Asteraceae) were analysed by GCMS. The main components of essential oils were identified as carvacrol(18.6 %) in I. viscosa, L-borne01 (63.96 %) in I. graveolens and alantolactone (59.6 %) in I. helenium subsp. fztrcorusanosu.Riebau et al. reported, that the main components of the essentials oil obtained from aerial parts of I. viscosa growing wild in Antalya were carvacrol, p-cymene, a-pinene, P-myrcene, y-terpinene, linalool, menthol, bomeol, thymol and Pcaryophyllen (8). In the present study, 5 of 30 components of essential oils of I. viscosa from Izmir were identified as carvacrol, L-borneol, thymol, caryophyllene oxide and nerolydol. The results of our analysis are largely in agreement with those reported by Ribeau et al. In both investigations, main component of I. viscosa essential oils was carvacrol.
