Abstract

Since Salvia genus was used in ancient medicine and its application in culinary, flavor cosmetics, food and drinking industries is important, we investigated the composition of the essential oil of S. compressa. The aerial parts of this species were collected from Jahrom in Fars province at the  altitude of 900 m and isolated by water distillation. Then the essential oil was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-four compounds were identified in the essential oil of S. compressa and the major components were tau-cadinol (36%), caryophyllene oxide (15.7%), geraniol (10.5%) and borneol (9.3%).
