The hydrodistilled essential oils of fruits and umbels of Prangos ferulaceae (L.)Lindl growing in Iran were analysed byGC/MS. Six compounds, comprising 93.7 and 94.7% of the total fruits and umbels oils were identified, respectively. α-Pinene and cis- ocimene are the major components of the oils. The essential oils show high antibacterial effect against Bacillus cereus.
