ABSTRACT

The Artemisia annua essential oil was obtained by hydro distillation of species growing wild in Bulgaria and was analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty six compounds were identified. The main ones were α-caryophillene (24.73%), α-cuvebene (13.53%), α-copaene (7.42%), α-selinene (8.21%) artemisia ketone (8.45%) and camphor (3.61%). The composition of the essential oil appeared to be different from those of species growing in other geographic locations.
