Abstract
In this study, 8 monoterpenes compounds (α-pinene, Camphor, Cineole, Limonene, Linalool, Myrcene, Sabinen and Terpinene) were identified in volatile oils or essential oils (EOs) from leaves and flowerheads, and total carotenoids from the flowerheads of 7 Cynareae taxa (Asteraceae) growing in Iraq were studied. Linalool is the main ingredient in all leaves of the studied species (ranging 12.3 - 13.4%), while the proportion of myrcine ranged (15.0-26.8%) in the flowerheads in the rest of the studied species Cineole in both plant parts exhibited the lowest amounts in all studied species. the flowerheads showed higher EOS contents than the leaves. In all species studied Centaurea Hyalolipids showed the highest EOs content compared to the other studied species. Centaurea benedicta showed the highest carotenoid content (15.96 mg/L) while Centaurea bruguieriana exhibited the lowest (8.88 mg/L).
