Essential oils, among
secondary metabolites, are molecules that generally play an important role in
the function, stability, support, bioactivities, defense mechanisms and
therapeutic applications of plants. For this reason, societies have been using
plants for the prevention and treatment of various diseases for years. Artemisia austriaca JACQ is a prevalent
species within the Asteraceae family. This perennial, aromatic plant is
indigenous to regions including Siberia, Turkey, Central Europe, and Iran. In our study, the essential oil of the Artemisia
austriaca JACQ species grown in Erzincan was analyzed by GC-MS method and
the chemical profile of the oil was determined. 30 chemical compounds have been
detected and described in the essential oil of this species. The oil of this
species contained, as main components, camphor (37.36%), eucalyptol (31.18%),
and terpinen-4-ol (5.6%). Compared to other studies in Turkey and other
countries, eucalyptol was found only in Artemisia austriaca JACQ in
Erzincan. In parallel with other studies, high levels of camphor were detected
in the essential oil. The high eucalyptol content of the species in Erzincan is
due to changes in parameters such as climate, altitude and geographical
conditions. As a result, it was observed that this species grown in Erzincan
exhibited an essential oil profile that showed minor chemotaxonomic differences
from other Artemisia austriaca species grown in Turkey and other
countries.
