Since ancient times, people have used medicinal plants in various fields, such as nutrition,
treatment and industrial purposes. Medicinal plants are composed of different kinds of bioactive
compounds and secondary metabolites. These compounds and metabolites are frequently used
in the pharmaceutical and industrial. Considering the endemic plant diversity of our country, it
has an unlimited variety of plant flora that we can use as drug-active ingredients. Heracleum
pastinacifolium, a perennial herbaceous structure belonging to the Apiaceae family and
popularly known as “Baldırgan”. Heracleum pastinacifolium is widely used in the food
industry and traditional medicine as a spice and flavouring. The essential oil composition can
vary significantly according to different ecological conditions. In our study, we report the
essential oil yield and components obtained from the aerial parts of H. pastinacifolium during
the flowering period in 2022 in Erzurum province. H. pastinacifolium essential oil was obtained
by clevenger distillation apparatus, and their chemical composition was determined by GC-MS
analysis. Forty-one components representing 94.08% of the oil were detected in the essential
oil of Heracleum pastinacifolium. The major components were β-caryophyllene (10.37%), (Z)-
p-menth-2-en-1-ol (7.52%), Elemicin (5.82%), (E)-Isocroweacin N (5.62%), α-Terpinyl acetate
(4.53%), Limonene (4.49%) respectively.
