Abstract

The essential oils of Hyssopus officinalis from field and wild growing were studied by GC and GC/MS. The plant leaves were collected in the blooming stage  on the experimental field in alborz karaj and nature in Roudbarak at Mazandaran province.Then they dried up and the essential oil isolated by steam distillation. Rt and KI were compared to the standard compounds then obtained components were recognized and their quality were defined per percent. Among 30 identified compounds in cultivated specimen the major components were iso-pinocamphone (32.4% ), pinocamphone (13.1%), β-pinene (12.2%) and pinocarvone(7.5%). In wild plant from 16 compounds iso-pinocamphone (49.4%), pinocamphone(18.7%), β-pinene (8.94%) and myrcene(5.8) were the main components. The oil obtained in yield of 0.6 % w/w in cultivated plant and 0.7 % in wild plant.
