Composition of essential oil of the aerial parts of L. growing wild in Northern Kazakhstan.

The aim of the study was to investigate volatile compounds from the aerial parts of L. of the family Violaceae grown wild in Northern Kazakhstan for the first time. is a common and widespread species of the temperate northern hemisphere. The oil from the aerial parts of , was obtained by hydrodistillation and investigated by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The main component of essential oil was phytol (55.2%). The obtained results showed differences in the composition of already studied essential oils, such as essential oil of L., Erben, L., Murr., Maxim., Wall. and D. Don. There is a certain similarity with the composition of the essential oil of where phytol was also found as one of the main component (11.4%).
