By the method of steam distillation, samples of essential oil were obtained from a plant cultivated in the East Kazakhstan region. The essential oil was obtained with a yield in terms of air-dry raw materials. By the gas liquid chromatography investigated a quantitative analysis of the essential oil components. Essential oil components of quantitative content calculated from the areas of gas chomatographic peaks. From plant of genus Zinnia elegans obtained main compounds of essentiol oil such as α-terpineol, β-myrcene, camphene and myrtenal. Terpineol has nice smell of lilac and is a sought-arter substance in the production of perfumes, fragrances and cosmetics. Pleasant smelling oily liquid. Myrcene has a large number of beneficial properties for the body, whether pure or in aromatherapy through the essential oils that contain it: Sedative and muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, interferon inhibition, gastric and duodenal ulcers, antalgic and antinociceptive, reduces sensitivity to pain by self-healing endogenous derivatives of morphine. Myrtenal – has an anti-inflammatory, resolving effect on acne, infiltrates. Increases the protective barrier of the epidermis. Antioxidant, rejuvenating. Camphene components are effective in the treatment of fungal, viral and bacterial infections that affect the respiratory system.
