Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
This study is the first report to compare the compositions of gum essential oil in male and female Pistacia atlantica Subsp. Kurdica. The results showed that the minor differences were found between the compositions of male and female essential oils. The gum of both male and female trees was rich in essential oil (30.80% - 30.27%) and the major compounds were α-pinene (92.42% – 84.10%), Limonene (5.23% - 1.26%) and Sabinene (3.29% - 1.580%), respectively. Moreover, Bornyl acetate, neo-Verbenol acetate and 3-oxo-p-Menth-1-en-7-al were found only in female tree.
