Abstract
Abstract Essential oils obtained by simultaneous distillation–extraction (SDE) from leaves, petioles and roots of three types of parsley (turnip‐rooted, plain leaf and curly leaf type), sown on three different dates, were analysed by GC‐MS (gas chromatography–mass spectrometry) analysis. Parsley plants were found to produce mainly β‐phellandrene, 1,3,8‐ p ‐menthatriene, α‐, p ‐dimethylstyrene, myristicin, β‐myrcene and apiole. In some cases α‐ and β‐pinene were also found, whereas β‐elemene was detected, especially in the curly leaf type. The growth stage, plant tissue and date of sowing, as well as the climate conditions, all had a significant effect on the essential oil composition by altering the ratio of the above substances.

essential oil composition affected by sowing date, growth stage, plant tissue, and climate conditions
“The growth stage, plant tissue and date of sowing, as well as the climate conditions, all had a significant effect on the essential oil composition by altering the ratio of the above substances.”
curly leaf type contains β‐elemene
“In some cases α‐ and β‐pinene were also found, whereas β‐elemene was detected, especially in the curly leaf type.”
parsley plants produce β‐phellandrene, 1,3,8‐p‐menthatriene, α‐, p‐dimethylstyrene, myristicin, β‐myrcene, and apiole
“Parsley plants were found to produce mainly β‐phellandrene, 1,3,8‐p‐menthatriene, α‐, p‐dimethylstyrene, myristicin, β‐myrcene and apiole.”
