Abstract
The chemical composition of the essential oils of Artemisia sp. L. growing in Romania has been studied. Analysis of the essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation was performed by GC-MS and emphasised the presence of some major similar compounds in Artemisia austriaca Jack, A. lerchiana Weber ex. Stechm and A. santonica L.: eucaliptol, camphor, cis-verbenone and borneol or iso-borneol. The essential oil extracted from another species had a specifically composition. Thus, A. annua L. essential oil contained 60,20% artemisia ketone; A. dracunculus L. contained 42,34% sabinene and 24,92% methyl eugenol; A. vulgaris L. contained 41,46 germacrene D and 11,19% -caryophyllene; A. dzevanovskyi Leonova in Wulf. 57,13% eucaliptol and 20,37% borneol; A. absinthium L. contained 41,65 % -pinene and 12,77 % myrtenil acetate; A. abrotanum L. contained 12,27 % eucaliptol and 9,23 % borneol.
