Abstract

Bellardia trixago (L.) All. (syn. Bartsia trixago L.) is a hemiparasitic plant that is mainly native to the Mediterranean area. Formerly, the genus was considered to be a part of the Scrophulariaceae family, but it is currently classified as belonging to the family Orobanchaceae. Bellardia species are used in traditional medicine by the local people to cure backache, menstrual problems and as an antipyretic and against the human immunodeficiency virus. Various populations of B. trixago exhibit qualitative and quantitative variations in the chemical composition of the plant. This research described the chemical composition of B. trixago from Dazkırı, Afyon/Türkiye. The essential oil of B. trixago was obtained by hydro-distillation method and the oil content was analyzed by GC-MS. Cembrene (51.7%) was identified as the major component and the other most abundant components were phellandral (15.4%) and α-terpineol (14.5%). To the best of knowledge, no research has ever been performed on B. trixago's essential oil from Türkiye.
