| Résumé : | The essential oil of Rhodiola rosea L., from rhizomes cultivated in Finland was analyzed by GC and GC/MS methods in Hungary. The air-dried rhizomes contained 0.04% essential oil. Thirteen components which were characterized in the oil were mainly monoterpenoid (84.3%). Myrtenol (36.9%), trans-pinocarveol (16.1%), geraniol (12.7%) and dihydrocumin alcohol (12.1%) were the most abundant volatiles detected in the oil. Myrtenol, geraniol and linalool were identified as the most important rose-like odor compounds which is important to give a pleasant rose-like scent to these Nordic rhizomes. |
