Abstract :
Chemical composition of the essential oil of the fruit of Ferula assa-foetida L.
obtained by steam distillation solvent extraction methodhas been studied by GC/MS
for the first time. Fifty-four components, comprising 96.9% of the total oil, were
identified.epi-?-Cadinol (23.15 %), germacrene B (10.98 %), ?-gurjunene (6.18 %),
(Z)-1-propenyl sec-butyl disulfide (5.89 %), 5-epi-7-epi-?-eudesmol (4.89 %), ?-
cadinene (4.78 %), ?-cadinene (3.36 %) and germacrene D (3.09 %) were found to be
the major constituents of the oil. The oil of the fruit of F. assa-foetida consisted of ten
monoterpene hydrocarbons (6.14%), twenty-six sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (43.48%),
nine oxygenated sesquiterpenes (37.77%), one oxygenated hydrocarbon (0.35%), and
nine volatile sulfides (11.18%).
