Abstract: This article presents the results of a study of the chemical composition of essential oils of Artemisia absinthium L. and Artemisia vulgaris L., grown in the Samarkand region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The relevance of this study is due to the widespread use of Artemisia species in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries, as well as the need to study the regional characteristics of their chemical profile.

The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation from the above-ground parts of plants during the flowering phase. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of their component composition was performed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Differences in the ratios of the dominant components of the essential oils of the studied species were identified, which are related to the species and the ecological and climatic conditions of the growing region.

Keywords: Artemisia absinthium L., Artemisia vulgaris L., essential oil, medicinal plants, component composition, chromatograph mass spectrometry, hydrosteam distillation, wormwood, common wormwood.
