Type: article
Abstract: Among the rich flora of the Earth, wild medicinal plants remain less studied; about 3,000 of these species are classified as essential oil-bearing plants, and the climatic conditions of Azerbaijan are favorable for the growth of most of them. The rich soil structure, abundant water resources, and favorable climatic conditions of the western region of Azerbaijan contribute to the annual growth of wild medicinal essential oil plant species. Among these wild plants, many remain unstudied, including the common juniper (Juniperus communis L.). A series of research articles on the extraction of essential oil from juniper (Juniperus communis L.) collected in the western region of Azerbaijan includes the study of obtaining and determining the qualitative characteristics of the essential oil, as well as analyzing changes in the quality parameters of this organic compound during various vegetative periods. Furthermore, the specific plant parts from which the essential oil is obtained play a significant role.
