Abstract

 

The essential oil of Angelica glauca collected from Kumaun Himalayan region of India was analyzed by GC-MS. It has been found rich in sesquiterpenes (52.23%), fatty acids (17.686%), diterpenes (2.771%) apart from bioactive constituents (z)-Lingustilide (4.531%) and (z)-Butylidene phthalide (11.061%). Twenty seven compounds have been identified by comparison of their MS and retention time through literature search.
