The aim of this study is to determine the chemical composition of essential oils of Chaerophyllum ‎ khorassanicum belonging to the Apiaceae family for the first time. Identification of essential oils ‎ is necessary, for food, cosmetics- health industry, and medicinal uses. The plant was collected at ‎ the flowering stage of Khorassan Razavi Province in Iran, Farizi Village. The shoot parts of the ‎ specimen were dried in the laboratory and crushed to particles. The essential oils were obtained ‎ by hydro-distillation using Clevenger and analyzed by GC-MS. Fifty-one components were ‎ identified in Chaerophyllum khorassanicum essential oils which accounted for 97.2% of the ‎ essence. The major chemical category of the volatile compounds were the monoterpene ‎ hydrocarbons (65.5%), followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (24.5%). In particular, the main ‎ components were limonene 32.1%, methyl eugenol 16.2%, and β-Ocimene 15.6%. In conclusion, ‎ monoterpene hydrocarbons are characteristic and represent excellent chemotaxonomical markers ‎ for Chaerophyllum khorassanicum .
