Essential Oil Composition of Erigeron Trilobus from Oman

Oman is the source for this dataset characterizing the essential oil from the aerial parts of the plant Erigeron trilobus. The dataset was authored by Natale Badalamenti and last updated on 2026-04-21. It reports a chemical profile dominated by diterpenoids, including specific concentrations for main constituents.

Use Cases

• Comparative chemical analysis based on the diterpenoid and sesquiterpenoid profiles mentioned.
• Taxonomic studies of the Erigeron or Eschenbachia genera based on essential oil composition.
• Identifying potential bioactive compounds based on the reported presence of rare angular triquinane sesquiterpenoids.

Strengths

• Provides specific quantitative data for main constituents, such as methyl strictate (26.26%) and methyl nidoresedate (12.78%).
• Documents a previously uninvestigated essential oil from a plant with a complex nomenclatural history.
• Data is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data files are in PDF and DOCX formats, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
