Özet

The present work describes the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Paeonia mascula (L) Miller collected in Torul, Gumushane-Turkey. The essential oil was obtained from all parts of the plant by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-five components representing 91.8% of the total oil were characterized and the main components of this species were found to be E-phytol (33.0%), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (13.7%), Z-phytol (9.1%), geraniol (4.7%), and p-cymene (3.8%). The antimicrobial activity of the isolated essential oil of the plant was also investigated; it showed moderate activity against Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Bacillus cereus.
