Abstract Water-distilled essential oils of the fruits and roots of Prangos denticulata Fisch. et Mey. were analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. The fruit oil yielded 121 components representing 95.2% of the oil; the root oil yielded 70 components representing 88.1% of the oil. The major constituents of the oils were determined as sabinene (26.1%) and p-cymene (19.7%) for the fruit and Î´-3-carene (49.3%) and (Z)-3,5-nonadiyne-7-ene (20.4%) for the root.
