Phytoconstituents, extraction and analysis of chemical compounds of Crataegus pontica K.Koch fruit using HS-SPME and GC-MS methods

Abstract

Essential oils were extracted by HS-SPME method from the fruit of the Crataegus pontica K.Koch collected from the southern regions of Ilam province. Then, to identify chemical compounds, the essential oil was injected into a chromatograph gas device connected to a mass spectrometer (GC-MC). Of the 50 compounds identified in this essential oil, beta-Thujene (17.21%), alpha-pinene (15.40%), 2-Hexenal (12.42%), trans-Caryophyllene (8.76%), beta-Myrcene (7.89%), 1-Pentadecene (5.89%), Sabinene (4.33%) and trans-beta-Farnesene accounted for %3.50 of the major fruit essential oil compounds of C. pontica.
