Abstract
The essential oil of Pelargonium graveolens from the aerial parts growing in Tajikistan was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. Seventy-nine components representing 95.1% of the total oil were identified. The main constituents of the essential oil were citronellol (37.5%), geraniol (6.0%), caryophyllene oxide (3.7%), menthone (3.1%), linalool (3.0%), β-bourbonene (2.7%), iso-menthone (2.1%) and geranyl formate (2.0%).
