In this paper, a detailed study on chemical characterization of essential oils (EOs) constituents of leaves and stems of Achillea fragrantissima were carried out using GC-FID and GC-MS analysis employing two different stationary phase columns. In the studied plant which is collected from the central region of Saudi Arabia, trans-sabinyl acetate and trans-sabinol have been identified as the major components. To the best of our knowledge, these components are being reported for the first time as the major constituents in the EOs of A. fragrantissima. The results showed that chief chemical components of both (leaves and stems) oils were found to be almost same, however, their contents varied noticeably from each other. Among 108 identified components in the leaves oil, the major components were trans-sabinyl acetate (20.7 +/- 0.00), trans-sabinol (14.9 +/- 0.13), artemisia ketone (12.7 +/- 0.46), santolina alcohol (10.1 +/- 1.30), beta-sesquiphellandrene (5.5 +/- 0.01), beta-thujone (5.1 +/- 0.11). Whereas, in the stem oil 85 components were identified and trans-sabinyl acetate (24. 0 +/- 0.19), trans-sabinol (19.2 +/- 0.01), artemisia ketone (16.3 +/- 0.74), santolina alcohol (10.4 +/- 1. 50), and beta-sesquiphellandrene (4.8 +/- 0.01) were found to be the major components. Among the identified components form both oils, 23 components were specific to only leaves oil, whereas 85 components were found to be common in both oils. (C) 2020 The Author(s).
