Abstract
Aerial parts of salvia verticillata L. were collected during their flowering periods (May-June 1996) near Tehran (Fasham-Garmabedar).
The essential oil, isolated by steam distillation for 45 min. was obtained in yield of 0.26% w/w.
The chemical composition of the essential oil was examined by capillary GC and GC/MS.
Twenty-seven components were characterized with β-Caryophyllen (24.7%),γ-muurolene(22.8%) , Limonene(8.9%) and α-humulene (7.8%) as the major constituents.
