Abstract:
The essenial oil of Nigella sativa L. seeds was investigated by coupled GC-MS. The volatile components of the essential oil of the seeds were identified based on comparing the resultant mass spectra with available standards as well as with those delivered by the electronic data system attached to the apparatus. Eighteen volatile components were identified. The most abundant compounds were p-cymene,g-terpinene, a-campholenal and a-thujena, respectively.
Keywords:Volatile oil; Nigella sativa L; Seeds; GC / MS
