β¦ Synopsis
By means of G C and GC-MS the herb oil of caraway (Cururn curvi L.) was found to consist of germacrene D (75%) with 1-caryophyllene, 1-elemene, humulene, germacrene A and B, and two cadinenes. Two chemotypes, a germacrene A containing type and a type without germacrene A were found.
Aliphatic aldehydes (68%), namely n-octanal, n-nonanal, rruns-2-decena1, and a so-far-unknown aldehyde represent the main part of the root oil obtained from adult plants. The seedlings root oil consists mainly of germacrene B ( 5 I%), which decreases during development.
