VARIABILITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IN TANACETUM VULGARE L. ESSENTIAL OILS OVER THE WORLD
Abstract:
Intraspecific chemical diversity is a common phenomenon, especially found in shoots of essential
oil accumulating plant species. Studies have proved that pedo-climatic factors have an influence on the
chemical composition of the essential oil of different plant species. Tanacetum vulgare L occurs in various
chemotypes that differ in the composition of mono- and sesquiterpenoids .The current article compiles data
from literature with regard to the major compounds of the essential oils of Tanacetum vulgare L over three
continents. Purpose: This study aims at emphasizing the main compounds of essential oils of Tanacetum
vulgare L. over the world with a special regard on the influence of the geographical origin on the chemical
composition.
