| Abstract | Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Apiaceae) is a well-known aromatic and medicinal plant. Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fresh ripe fruits of fennel collected during three different years (2001-2003) from experimental cultures were investigated in order to evaluate their chemical profile related to climatic conditions. The constituents of the essential oils have been characterized using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis (GC-MS). The main compounds in all fennel volatile oils were: t-anethole, estragole, fenchone and limonene. The essential oil of fennel fruits showed a characteristic chemical profile from year to year. The essential oil content and its monoterpenes components were the most susceptible features to be affected by climatic conditions (temperature and rainfall). Rezumat Uleiurile volatile obţinute prin hidrodistilare din fructele mature si proaspete de fenicul, recoltate din culturi experimentale in 3 ani diferiţi (2001, 2002, 2003), au fost analizate in scopul evaluării profilului lor chimic raportat la condiţiile climatice caracteristice anilor de cultură. Constituenţii uleiurilor volatile au fost caracterizaţi prin gaz cromatografie cuplată cu spectrometrie de masă. Compusii majori identificaţi in toate uleiurile volatile de fenicul au fost trans-anetolul, estragolul, fencona si limonenul. Conţinutul in ulei volatil si cel al fracţiei monoterpenice sunt cele mai afectate de acţiunea factorilor climatici (in special, temperatură si precipitaţiile). |
