Abstract

The essential oil compositions of the leaf and cone samples were determined of Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb. subsp. excelsa (Boz ardıc) and Juniperus foetidissima Willd. (Kokar ardıç) species, naturally distributed in the flora of Kahramanmaras. J. excelsa subsp. excelsa species contained more oil in their leaves than the fruit, while in J. foetidissima the cones contained higher oil than the leaf. According to the results of the analysis, α-pinene is the main component of both leaf and cone essential oil in both species. When we look at the leaf essential oils of J. excelsa subsp. excelsa, it contains 21 of 28 components in total and the main component is α-pinene (55,25%). It contains 18 of 30 components defined in cone essential oil. The main component was α-pinene (83,43%) and it was determined to be higher than that of leaf essential oil. It contains 17 of 28 components identified in J. foetidissima leaf essential oil. α-pinene (24,00%) is the main component in leaf essential oil. When we look at the cone essential oils, it contains 22 of 30 different components. The main component was α-pinene with 32,17%, which was found to be higher than the rate in leaf essential oil.
