In this study, essential oils from different organs of Kelussia odoratissima were obtained by hydro-distillation. Quality and quantity of chemical composition of essential oils were determined by capillary gas chromatography and using gas chromatoghraphy and mass spectrometric detection. The numbers of compounds were identified in the essential oil aerial parts were 37. Also, 1,8-cineol was the main component found in essential oils from aerial parts (27.95%) of Kelussia odoratissima in flowering stage. In addition chemical analysis of essential oils obtained from leaves and stem of Kelussia odoratissima were rich in oxygenated monoterepens were the main class of compounds in the essential oils from aerial parts of Kelussia odoratissima. Results of this study showed that the essential oils from aerial parts of Kelussia odoratissimahave a potential to be used as 1,8-cineol a new source in drug and food industries.
