Abstract

In this study, essential and fixed oil components of the endemic Achillea magnifica species, which naturally spread in Nurhak district of Kahramanmaras province, were determined. The study was carried out in the laboratory of Medicinal and Aromatic plants belonging to Sutcu Imam University Faculty of Agriculture. Essential oils were obtained in Neo-Clevenger and fixed oils were obtained in soxhalet device. Essential oil components were determined in Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute, and fixed oil components were determined by GC/MS device in Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University USKIM laboratory. According to the analysis results; 22 different components have been identified in the essential oil of A. magnafica, the main of which is 1,8-cineole with 16.80%. This component is followed by borneol with 9.20%, sabinyl acetate with 9.19%, camphor with 7.56%, germacrene with 6.99% and linalool with 5.04%. Looking at the fixed oil components, the main component was linoleic acid with 21.26%, followed by palmitic acid with 18.49%, ɣ-linolenic acid with 17.83%, oleic acid with 11.97%, behenic acid with 11.94% and caproic acid with 5.81%.
