Comparison of the essential oils from tenFoeniculum vulgare Miller samples of fruits of different origin

Abstract
The essential oil contents were determined of 10 samples of dry, ripe fruits of Foeniculum vulgare Miller of different origin; the fruits were collected from wild plants or commercial samples. The essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation were analysed by GC–MS; the 16 main constituents of each sample were identified, trans-anethole, estragole, limonene and fenchone being the most abundant. The amounts of trans-anethole and estragole were inversely proportional, so that clear phytochemical differences within the investigated samples were observed.
