“…It has been described in about one-third of the species at least in one case as main component (Table II). Besides results summarized in the table, 1,8-cineole was detected in the oils of some further species, such as A. oligochala (14), A. teretifolia (15) and A. compacta (16).…”

Based on the present knowledge of essential oil composition of species belonging to the genus Achillea the factors, which may influence the composition with regard to plant biology, production and application are discussed.According to studies from the last 15 years, a mean of 54 compounds have been identified in samples of different species. Among them, the largest number of components (149 compounds) were found in the oils of A. millefolium, A. pannonica and A. collina. The monoterpenes, 1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol, α-and β-pinenes are among the five most abundant components. Beside chamazulene, the most frequently identified sesquiterpenes are β-caryophyllene and its oxide. The presence of chamazulene seems to remain a characteristic, but it is not ubiquitous to the members of the Millefolium group. The heritance mechanism of sesquiterpenes, especially chamazulene, seems to be established, while we know relatively less about the genetic regulation of the monoterpene compounds. During ontogenesis, major differences could be found between the stages before and after flower development. The phenological phase assuring the highest level of azulenes seems to be during flowering. Composition and compositional changes of an essential oil within the Achillea genus in different plant organs seems to depend on the species. In several cases a dominance of sesquiterpene components above the monoterpenes was found in the vegetative organs. The most important difference seems to be the lack or low amount of chamazulene as artefact in the extracts compared to the distillates.

“…is a perennial herb restricted to the Balkan Peninsula, south Ukraine and Asia Minor. Until now, there are only a few reports regarding the chemical composition of A. coarctata essential oil collected from different geographical areas [12][13][14][15]. Having in mind the differences in available data of the essential oil and the general importance of the genus Achillea, the aim of this study was to perform a more detailed chemical analysis (GC-MS) of the essential oil composition, as well as the headspace volatiles profile of A. coarctata collected in Serbia.…”

“…Tzakou et al analyzed the essential oil of A. coarctata from Greece and noted 1,8-cineole (26.9%, 29.1%), camphor (22.1%, 9.2%) and borneol (5.0%, 6.8%) as the most dominant components of inflorescence and leaf oils, respectively [13]. Two of the reports represent essential oil compositions of A. coarctata from Turkey; the main constituents were: 1,8-cineole (20.1%), camphor (15.6%) and viridiflorol (11.8%), as well as viridiflorol (25.9%), camphor (9.8%) and caryophyllene oxide (9.6%) [14][15].…”

This study reports the essential oil composition and headspace volatiles profile of Achillea coarctata Poir. from Serbia. The inflorescences, stems and leaves, and the aerial parts of A. coarctata were analyzed separately. Germacrene D, α-terpineol and 1,8-cineole were the main constituents of the aerial parts essential oil; 1,8-cineole, cis-cadin-4-en-7-ol and α-terpineol were the most dominant compounds in the inflorescence essential oil, while the most abundant components in the stem and leaf oil were germacrene D, cis-cadin-4-en-7-ol and ledol. The percentages of monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids in the aerial parts were the same, while there were differences in distribution of these compound classes in inflorescence and stem and leaf essential oils. The major components of the headspace volatiles were the same for aerial parts, inflorescence and stem and leaves: 1,8-cineole, β-pinene and α-pinene.

“…Our results agree with other literatures, monoterpenes are the principal components of Achillea essential oils (Zeedan, et al, 2014;Mottaghi, et al, 2016). Furthermore, 1, 8-cineole (20.1%), camphor (15.6%), and viridiflorol (11.8%) the three most abundant monoterpene components (Toker, et al, 2003).…”

Essential oils of Achillea fragrantissima extract were prepared and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 57 phytochemical constituents of chemical compounds were identified in leaves of A. fragrantissima. The major constituents of the essential oil were camphor (34.50%), 1, 8-cineole (14.60%), artemisia ketone (10.25%), and 3-thujanone (7.82%). In addition, 43 components were present at <1%. From the 57 identified compounds, four of them was sesquiterpenes (7.01%), whereas 35 compounds were monoterpenes (61.40%).
