Abstract

 
Introduction
Essential oils from medicinal plants are widely used as flavoring agents as well as herbal medicines. Anthemis is an important medicinal plant that the essential oil is its active ingredient. Evaluattion of plant chararcteristics and identification of superior species is important to be used in pharmaceutical industry and breeding programs.
 
Materials and Methods
In this study, the essential oil components of five different Anthemis species such as: A. tinctoria, A. hyalina,
A. wiedemanniana, A. pseudocotula and A. haussknechtii were evaluated for the first time, in order to better understanding the characteristics of Anthemis species. To do this, plants shoots with flowers were collected at flowering time during 2017 from five natural habits of Kurdistan province including Baneh-Sevenj, Seghez-Malgharani, Saheb-Seyedabad, Marivan-Musk and Sanandaj-the beginning of the road of Marian. The essential oils were extracted from dried plants using Klevenger with distilled water for five hours and their percentage was calculated. Then the essential oil components were identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
 
Results and Discussion
The results showed that there was difference among the different Anthemis species in terms of essential oil percentage and components. Essential oil percentage was from 0.02 to 0.15%, most of which was related to A. hyaline (0.15%) and A. setacea (0.08%), respectively. According to the results, 14 components in A. tinctoria, 18 components in A. hyaline, 17 components in A. wiedemanniana, 16 components in A. pseudocotula and 17 components in A. haussknechtii, were identified. The components camphor, gama-Eudesmol, beta-Myrcene, chrysanthenyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, Terpinine-4-ol and Thymol were the highest amount. The highest essential oil percentage was related to the camphor component that was observed in A. wiedemanniana (53.57%). Cluster analysis divided the specied in two groups that A. wiedemanniana was alone in a separated group.
 
Conclusions
According to the results, the species of A. wiedemanniana due to the high amount of essential oils specially camphor is superior and can be used in pharmaceutical, food and perfumery industry and breeding programs.
