The essential oils of Astrodaucus persicus (Boiss.) Drude were obtained by hydrodistillation of root and aerial parts and examined by GC and GC–MS. The composition of oil samples was compared; 22, 20 and 14 compounds were identified in the essential oils of the root, stem/leaves and flowers/fruits, representing 94.4%, 99.7% and 99.9%, respectively, of the total oils. The major components were bornyl acetate (26.5%), β ‐sesquiphellandrene (25.9%) and exo ‐fenchyl acetate (25.1%) for the root oil, α ‐pinene (56.4%) and exo ‐fenchyl acetate (37.7%) for the stem/leaves oil and β ‐pinene (46.1%), α ‐pinene (26.1%) and α ‐thujene (14.4%) for the flowers/fruits oil. The highest amount of sesquiterpenes was found in the root oil (30.7%). Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
