A detailed analysis of Ferula communis leaf oil was carried out by combination of GC, GC/MS and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. After fractionation by column chromatography, 47 components were identified, representing 95.0% of the total amount of the oil. The main constituents were myrcene (53.5%) and aristolene (8.5%). The evolution of the chemical composition according to the stages of development of the plant was investigated as well as the composition of leaf, flower and peduncle oils. Forty individual samples of leaf oil were analyzed by GC-RI and 13C-NMR. The chemical data were submitted to partitioning program (K-means) which determined three groups, respectively dominated by myrcene, myrcene/aristolene and aristolene/myrcene.
