Abstract
The essential oil content and chemical composition of Tagetes minuta L. was determined at different harvesting times of budding, full flowering and fruit set stages. The oil was obtained by hydrodistillation of all samples,and was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The oil content of samples which were harvested at budding, full flowering and fruit set stages were 1.55%, 1.44% and 1.0% (w/w) on a dry weight basis, respectively. Nineteen, 20 and 19 compounds have been identified in the oils of budding, full flowering and fruit set stages of T. minuta, respectively. The major compounds were limonene, dihydrotagetone, (Z)-tagetone, (E)-ocimenone and a-terpineol. The results showed that harvest times had a major effect on the constituents of the oil of T. minuta.
