In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from the aerial parts of two Centaurea species not previously investigated, C. polyacantha Willd. (sect. Seridia, Asteraceae) and C. maroccana Ball. (sect. Calcitrapa, Asteraceae), collected in Morocco, was evaluated by GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil of the first one were limonene (18.2%), beta-bisabolene (11.5%), (Z)-beta-farnesene (8.6%), and spathulenol (8.3%), whereas the C. maroccana essential oil, practically devoid of terpenoids, was shown to be rich in some unusual Centaurea metabolites: 1-hexadecanol (24.9%), docosane (23.7%), and 1-octadecanol (19.5%). Furthermore, a complete literature review on the composition of the essential oils of all the other taxa of Centaurea, belonging to sections Seridia and Calcitrapa, studied so far, was performed.

Abstract
In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from the aerial parts of two Centaurea species not previously investigated, C. polyacantha Willd. (sect. Seridia, Asteraceae) and C. maroccana Ball. (sect. Calcitrapa, Asteraceae), collected in Morocco, was evaluated by GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil of the first one were limonene (18.2%), beta-bisabolene (11.5%), (Z)-beta-farnesene (8.6%), and spathulenol (8.3%), whereas the C. maroccana essential oil, practically devoid of terpenoids, was shown to be rich in some unusual Centaurea metabolites: 1-hexadecanol (24.9%), docosane (23.7%), and 1-octadecanol (19.5%). Furthermore, a complete literature review on the composition of the essential oils of all the other taxa of Centaurea, belonging to sections Seridia and Calcitrapa, studied so far, was performed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
