“…Previous phytochemical investigations of Chaerophyllum species have revealed the presence of secondary plant metabolites such as lignans (Mikaya et al, 1981), phenyl propanoids and polyacetylenes (Rollinger et al, 2003), phenolic acids (Dall'Acqua et al, 2004), and flavonoid glycosides (Gonnet, 1985(Gonnet, , 1986. Previous reports on the essential oils of Chaerophyllum species from different regions showed a variety of volatile compounds (Başer et al, 2000(Başer et al, , 2006Chizzola, 2009;Ebrahimabadi et al, 2010;Joshi and Mathela, 2013;Joshi, 2013;Kokkalou and Stefanou, 1989;Kubeczka et al, 1989;Kürkçüoğlu et al, 2006;Letchamo et al, 2005;Mamedova and Akhmedova, 1991;Masoudi et al, 2011;Nematollahi et al, 2005;Sefidkon, and Abdoli, 2005;Vajs et al, 1995). In the essential oils of the aerial parts and fruits of Chaerophyllum aureum L., collected from two mountains in Serbia, the sabinene (18.5-31.6%), p-cymene (7.9-25.4%) and limonene (1.9-10.9%) were characterized as the main constituents (Lakušić et al, 2009).…”
