The Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Angelica archangelica L.Roots Growing Wild in Lithuania

摘要

The roots of Angelica archangelica L.were collected in three habitats (12 samples) in 1995-2002.The oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS.The dominant component was a-pinene (15.7-20.8%) for two localities.Other three main constituents were 5-3-carene (15.4-16.9%),limonene (8.0-9.2%),sabinene (5.0-7.5%) forthe first locality,and P-phel-landrene (13.5-15.4%),8-3-carene (13.2-14.2%) and a-phellandrene (8.0-9.1%) forthe second locality.The dominant oil components in the third locality were P-phellandrene (13.8-18.5%) togetherwith a-pinene (11.4-15.0%),8-3-carene (10.8-11.9%),p-cymene (6.8-10.6%) and a-phellandrene (5.9-8.6%).The oils contained 67.3-79.9% monoterpenoids (monoterpene hydrocarbons made up 60.2-72.6%),9.6-19.4% sesquiterpenoids,3.9-6.3% macrocyclic lactones and 1.2-5.3% coumarin osthol.Identified compounds (81 from 96) made up 91.4-99.2% of the oils.
