description

The volatile components of the flowerheads of Centaurea cineraria L. subsp. umbrosa (Lacaita) Pign. and Centaurea napifolia L. were obtained by hydrodistillation and identified by GC and GC-MS. Altogether 55 components were identified, mostly sesquiterpenes and hydrocarbons. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
