The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Artemisia austriaca Jacq. and Artemisia spicigera C. Koch. from Turkey have been examined by GC, GC-MS, H-1-NMR and C-13-NMR. The oil of A. austriaca contained, as main components, camphor (45.5%), 1,8-cineole (30.4%), camphene (6.5%), alpha-terpineol(3.2%), alpha-pinene (3.0%) and terpinen-4-ol (2.9%). The major components of the A. spicigera oil were identified as 1,8-cineole (56.8%), camphor (20.2%), camphene (4.9%), thymol (2.0%) and beta-myrcene (1.5%). In the results of the analyses, 26 components in the oils of both A. austriaca and A. spicigera have been identified. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
