| Abstract | ||
| Centaurea behen L. is a member of compositae, distributed in different region of Iran , and used as a medicinal plant. Hydro-distilled volatile oil from the aerial parts of this plant was obtained at yield of 0.5% w/w based on dry weight of plant. Centaurea behen was collected from Tehran province (Bomehen) and the oil was analysed by a combination of GC and GC/MS methods. Twenty-one compounds were identified that constitute 91% of the oil. The main constituents of the essential oil were β-caryophyllene (40.3%) , β-sesquiphellandrene (18.4%), and caryophyllene oxide (9.9%) . The structure of a guaianolide and lactones previously. reported from this plant by Rustaiyan | ||
