Abstract

Mentha longifolia (L). Hudson is from Lamiaceae family and have different varieties which essential oil content and the other Lamiaceae members seems to be influenced by environmental factors, in present study we select Mentha longifolia (L). Hudson var. Chlorodictya Rech. F. samples collected from two different habitats. The essential oils obtained by steam distillation, The percentage of all two oils were the dry weight and analysed by GC and GC/MS. The major constituents for sample–1 were p-menth–1–en–9–ol (62.1%), β-caryophyllene (6.3%) and carvacrol (4.8%) and for sample–2 were p–menth–1-en–9-ol (36.1%), 1,8–cineole (14.4%), piperitone (9.7%), carvacrol (9.3%) and germacrene D (9.1%).
