The present study aimed to investigate the essential oil composition of Lathyrus laxiflorus subsp. laxiflorus using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and flame ionization detection (GC-MS/FID). Essential oil was obtained through hydrodistillation and analyzed under optimized chromatographic conditions. The yield of essential oil was calculated as 0.22% (w/w, moisture-free basis). A total of 27 volatile compounds were identified, representing 96.86% of the total composition. The chemical profile was dominated by monoterpenoids (69.49%) and monoterpene (27.03%), with minor contributions from sesquiterpenes (0.14%) and sesquiterpenoids (0.20%). Camphor (44.60%) was determined as the major constituent, followed by borneol (8.32%) and 1,8-cineole (7.94%). Other components such as α-pinene, β-pinene, and camphene were detected in lower proportions. These results provide the first detailed report on the volatile composition of L. laxiflorus essential oil analyzed via GCMS/FID. The predominance of camphor and related oxygenated monoterpenes indicates potential applications of this species in pharmaceutical and aromatic industries. This study highlights the chemotaxonomic relevance of L. laxiflorus and contributes to expanding the phytochemical knowledge of the genus Lathyrus.
