Chemical Characterization and Chemotaxonomic Significance of Essential Oil Constituents of Matricaria aurea Grown in Two Different Agro-Climatic Conditions.

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive study on chemical characterization of essential oil (EO) constituents of a rarely explored plant species (Matricaria aurea) of the Asteraceae family grown in Saudi Arabia and Jordan was carried out. Analyses were conducted employing gas chromatographic approaches such as GC-MS, GC-FID, and Co-GC, as well as RT, LRI determination, and database and literature comparisons, on two diverse stationary phase columns, which led to the identification of a total of 135 constituents from both EOs. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes were found to be the most predominant chemical class of Saudi M. aurea EOs, in which α-bisabolol (27.8%), γ-gurjunenepoxide (21.7%), (E, E)-α-farnesene (16.3%), and cis-spiroether (7.5%) were present as major c
