heal.abstract	Essential oils obtained by simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) from leaves, petioles and roots of three types of parsley (turnip-rooted, plain leaf and curly leaf type), sown on three different dates, were analysed by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) analysis. Parsley plants were found to produce mainly β-phellandrene, 1,3,8-p-menthatriene, α-,p- dimethylstyrene, myristicin, β-myrcene and apiole. In some cases α- and β-pinene were also found, whereas β-elemene was detected, especially in the curly leaf type. The growth stage, plant tissue and date of sowing, as well as the climate conditions, all had a significant effect on the essential oil composition by altering the ratio of the above substances. © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry.	en
