The essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation from the seeds of Nigella orientalis L. was analysed by GC–MS. Among 18 identified compounds, the major components were β-elemene (68.8%), δ-cadinene (5.2%), β-selinene (4.3%), and α-selinene (3.3%). The oil predominantly contained sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (90.3%)
