Abstract

Artemisia L., the largest genus from the Anthemideae tribe and Asteraceae family, comprises almost 500 species, which is one so important in traditional Persian medicine. Of these species, A. absinthium and A. aucheri have numerous uses in various fields such as pharmaceutical, agricultural, cosmetics, sanitary, perfumes, and food industries. Due to their characteristic features in terms of chemical composition and usefulness, this paper aims to present the results of the chemical composition of essential oils extracted by the hydrodistillation from A. absinthium and A. aucheri. The plant material was collected from different geographical areas of Iran. The qualitative and quantitative essential oil analysis was performed by the GC/MS. The percentages show the presence of chemical compounds represented in the majority by camphor, sabinen, linalool, hydroxy dihydro- lavandulyl acetate, and Geraniol. Hydrocarbon and oxygen monoterpenes, especially ketones, were the essential chemical groups in the Artemisia essential oil from different parts of Iran.
