Abstract

Chemical composition of the essential oils extracted from the leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of  Heracleum rechingeri Manden. were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-four components were characterized for the leaf oil with Octyl acetate(47.2%), Octanol(15.2%) and E-caryophyllen (5.7%) as the main constituents. 25 compounds were identified in the stem oil with Elemicin (65.3%), Octyl acetate (13.0%) and Octanol (3.5%) as the major components. 18 compound were identified in the  flower oil with Octyl acetate (46.8%), Elemicin (12.8%) and methyl chavicol (10.2%) as the major components. Among 13 compounds studying in the seed oil of H.rechingeri, the major constituents were Octyl acetate (91.7%), Octanol (3.5%) and Octanal (1.2%).
