Among the Ferula species, Ferula ovina is a sweet-smelling plant. The hydrodistilled essential oil from the dried fruits of Ferula ovina was analyzed by GC-MS. Forty-five components, representing 99.0 % of the oil was characterized. The major components were Ot-pinene (37.4 %), ß-phellandrene (10.8 %), isobornyl acetate (9.2 %), a-fenchene (8.9 %), myrcene (5.8 %), y-elemene (4.6 %) and ß-pinene (4.1 %). The chemical compositions of the oils obtained from aerial parts and fruits were different, especially in the percentage of ot-pinene and in the presences of a-fenchene, isobornyl acetate and y-elemene.
