Abstract

Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of purple and white flowered Vitex agnus-castus (Lamiaceae) from Hatay (Türkiye), were analyzed by GC/MS. The total ratio of 53 components in Vitex agnus-castus volatile components with purple flowers is 99.87%. This ratio is seen as 43 components and 98.86% in white-flowered Vitex agnus-castus. Eucalyptol, sabinene, α-pinene, α[1]terpinyl acetate and trans-caryophyllene were identified as the main components of the essential oils of Vitex agnus-castus with purple and white flowers. In the essential oils of purple flowering Vitex agnus- castus, the highest component was determined as eucalyptol with a rate of 15.41%, followed by nerolidol with 12.76%, caryophyllene oxide with 12.43% and sabinene with 9.4%. When the essential oils of white-flowered Vitex agnus-castus were examined, the rate of eucalyptol was determined as 21.62%. Sabinene ratio was determined as 17.6%, followed by 10.76% α-pinene and 5.69% α-terpinyl acetate, respectively.
