Thirty two components were identified, accounting for 97.4 % from sample A (Gulbirlik factory in Isparta). The major constituents of sample A were citronellol (48.0 %), geraniol (12.2 %), nonadecane (11.0 %), nonadecene (3.6 %), heneicosane (3.3 %) and methyl eugenol (2.8 %). The other components such as phenyl ethyl alcohol, geranyl acetate, linalool, geranial and farnesol were present in small amounts. 37 compounds were characterised, representing 93.4 % the R. damascena oil from Sample B (a private factory). The principal components detected in the oil of sample B were citronellol (43.0 %), geraniol (19.9 %), nonadecane (9.8 %), heneicosane (3.7 nonadecan-9-ene (3.1 %), farnesol (2.0 %), geranyl acetate (1.8 %) and methyl eugenol (1.9 The results show that it is need to harvesting to end-product storage and to establish for Standard composition and high quality oil.en10.1080/0972060X.2009.10643743info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRosa damascenaessential oilcompositionprivate factoryArticle124447452Q2WOS:000269705900009Q4
