Abstract :In this study, the essential oil of Centaurea pichleri ssp. pichleri was obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. GC and GC/MS analyzes of the essential oil from Centaurea pichleri ssp. pichleri were determined the identification of 48 components representing 86.9% of the oil. With this analysis, the major component was found as hexadecanoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.4%);. Subsequent to this component, other major components were caryophyllene oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.4%);, spathulenol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.2%); and dodecanoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.5%);. In addition to this, fatty acid methyl esters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FAMEs); from Centaurea pichleri ssp. pichleri were prepared for analyzes of fatty acids. By this test the amount of saturated fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFA); was found as 47.79% with major fatty acid was stearic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.64%);. The amount of monounsaturated fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MUFA); was found as 16.88% with major fatty acid was oleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.20%);. The amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PUFA); was found as 21.29% with major fatty acid was linoleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.20%);. The results from this work were compared with the previous works in terms of essential oils and fatty acids.
