Abstract

Rosmarinus officinalis L. which is cultivated in Research farm of medicinal plants in Cemnan city were collected on 29 May 2003 , and fresh plants materials essential oils extracted by hydrodistillation method in laboratory and pilot scale. Essential oils yield in laboratory and pilot scale were 0.4%, and 0.5%, respectively. Both samples were analysed by GC and GC/MS. The main constituents were identified in laboratory sample were a - pinene (30.3%), 1,8-cineole (15.2%), terpin-1-ol (8.2%) and methyl chavicol (7.5%) and for pilot sample were a - pinene (30%), 1,8-cineole (12.2%), methyl chavicol (11.6%) and camphene (6.6%).
