Abstract
Water-distilled essential oil from the crushed fruits of Ferulago confusa Velen, collected from Bursa: Keles-Orhaneli in Turkey, was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Ninety-one components were identified representing 99.5% of the oil. Cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (37.7%) and α-pinene (36.7%) were characterized as the main constituents.
The antibacterial effects of the Ferulago confusa oil were evaluated by using microdilution broth method. The oil showed moderate inhibitory effects on the selected human pathogenic bacteria having MIC values ranging 0.6–2.5 mg/mL.
