GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The essential oils of Romanian coriander fruits ( cultivar “Sandra”) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by means of GC and GC-MS. Sixty compounds were identified in the total essential oils. Monoterpenes were the most dominant class of compounds, with linalool (48.4-54.3%) being the major component. Other significant compounds were γ-terpinene (9.2-12.1%), α-pinene (5.5-9.3%) and limonene (4.7-6.3%).
