Abstract :

Milfoil with the scientific name Achillea Millefolium is perennial ,stable plant from Asteraceae family. this plant grows in different parts of Iran and world. milfoil mainly containing of essential oils, flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins and have various health benefits. due to the extensive use of essential oils of milfoil in indifferent field of medicine, cosmetic and nutrition ,it was also suggested that the chemical compounds available in this plant could be identified in various stages of plant development. Methodology: Achillea millefolium had collected during the prior stage of flowering ,after that and fruiting stage of Dizin region in Tehran province from second half of July to the early August in 2014.the samples essential oil after completely drying the plant was extracted using by Clevenger apparatus after with water distillation method and essential percentage determination of each sample, the Gas chromatography (GC( and the Gas chromatography connected the mass spectrometry )GC/MS( to identify qualitative and quantitative combination of essential oil constituent was used. normal alkans consist of the most combination of plant essential in each 3 stage before the flowering ,flowering and fruiting which the percentage of this combination was mentioned during 3 stages 46/8%,42/1%,32/4% of the total essential components respectively..in flowering and fruiting stages also ,the oxygenation monoterpene 8 Cinoel -1 has the most abundant after nonadekan composition. based on similarity of the available percentage matter ,the essential before flowering has more alignment than the essential flowering .
