Plants of the Artemisia genus (Asteraceae) are integral to cultural heritage Alpine communities, where they used in herbal infusions and alcoholic beverages. This study analysed volatile composition A. genipi Weber umbelliformis Lam. from Central Alps using microsteam distillation (MSD) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) identify compounds influencing their flavour. Chemical analysis revealed distinct profiles, showing a higher proportion monoterpene hydrocarbons (32.8%) than (5.6%), whereas contained more oxygenated monoterpenes (85.3% vs. 43.9%), including α-thujone (56.9% 32.2%, respectively) β-thujone (11.6% 4.6%), classifying both as part thujone chemotype. Compounds like cis-2-methyl-3-methylene-5-heptene (0.5%) methyl-(E)-eremophila-1(10),7(11)-dien-12-oate (1.1%) were found for first time genus. The findings underscore need further research unravel full extent chemical biological diversity between two species.
