Chemical composition of essential oils of three Pistacia cultivars in Khorasan Razavi, Iran
Abstract
The essential oil from leaves of Pistacia lentiscus L., an aromatic member of three Pistacia (Pistacia Vera L.) cultivars, including Kalle Ghoochi, Akbari, and Sefid that were analyzed by GC-MS. These Pistacia species have been collected from Khorasan Razavi, Iran. Constituents were identified by their mass spectra and Kovats’ indices. 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, β-pinene, β-thujene, and limonene were found to be the major constituents.
