Abstract
In the present work, lipids and essential oil constituents of endemic Cota hamzaogluiÖzbek & Vural were investigated with GC-FID/MS techniques. The fatty acids fraction was isolatedwith liquid-liquid extraction from the herb with Folch method and then methylated with BF3 reagent.Linolenic, linoleic, oleic, and hexadecanoic acids were found to be the main fatty acids. Theunsaturated fatty acids (66.0%) prevailed upon saturated (33.6%) ones. The essential oil wascharacterized with high percentage of the fatty acids (34.7%), alkanes (14.0%) and aliphaticaldehydes (8.3%). The present study is the first report on chemical composition of Cota hamzaogluiÖzbek & Vural lipids and essential oil.
