The essential oil of Tagetes bipinata L. (fam. Asteraceae) has been investigated by means of GC-FID and GC/ MS. The use of a novel GC/MS library provided with a retention index filter tool has led to the identification of 36 volatiles. Accurate quantitative analysis has been carried out through the measurement of correction factors and analytical data have been expressed as g/100 g for each volatile determined.

Abstract
The essential oil of Tagetes bipinata L. (fam. Asteraceae) has been investigated by means of GC-FID and GC/ MS. The use of a novel GC/MS library provided with a retention index filter tool has led to the identification of 36 volatiles. Accurate quantitative analysis has been carried out through the measurement of correction factors and analytical data have been expressed as g/100 g for each volatile determined. Major constituents of the oil were (Z)-β-ocimene (32.57 g/100 g), dihydrotagetone (9.38 g/100 g), (Z)-tagetone (4.62 g/100 g), (Z)-and (E)-ocimenone (3.07 and 2.51 g/100 g, respectively) and limonene (2.53 g/100 g). The total identified fraction accounted for 60.13 g/100 g. © 2009 Allured Business Media.Pubblicazioni consigliate
