Abstract
The essential oil from Nigella arvensis L. was obtained by hydrodistillation, yielding 0.42% of oil on dry weight basis. The GC and GC-MS analyses showed the presence of 69 components, predominantly monoterpenes. The major constituents were carvacrol methyl ether (26.4%), β-pinene (21.4%), n-undecane (13.2%), and α-pinene (5.7%). The oil did not exhibit antimicrobial activity when tested by microdilution method.
