Abstract
Extract of the fruits of Ammi copticum plant (Trachyspermum copticum), grown wildly in the Fars province of Iran, in various solvents were obtained and analyzed. GC-MS analysis of the extract and of the essential oil obtained from the fruit of the plant showed 138 components. Thymol (65 %) and linoleic acid (13.5 %) were isolated and characterized as the major chemical constituents.
