Extraction of the saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigma grown in Kinkhan-Hatay and Karabilk-Safranbolu (which is the most common saffron farming area in Turkey) with methanol / ethyl acetate solvent mixture was carried out and volatile components of the saffron were detected by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy) analysis. According to the obtained results, fifteen compounds were identified in Safranbolu Saffron stigma and fourteen components were detected for Kirikhan Saffron stigma. Some of these compounds including beta-Isophorone, alpha-Isophorone, 4-Ketoisophorone, Safranal (2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde), 2,4,4-trimethyl-3-carboxaldehyde-5 -hydroxy-2,5-cyc lohexadien-1-one, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol, Nonadecane and tricosane have also been obtained in previous studies according to the literature. Some of compounds in Kirikhan Saffron stigmas including; 3-chlorophenylhydrazine, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methyl-1propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, Bis-2-ethylhexyladipate, heneicosane, 1-eicosanol, heptacosane and hexacosane have been detected for the first time in a Saffron stigma according to the literature.
