Abstract
The essential oil from Mentha aquatica L. from Iran was produced by steam distillation of it’s dry leaves yield of 1% ( weight of essential oil/weight of dry leaves) and then analysed by GC & GC/MS.
Sixteen Compounds were identified in this essential oil which consist of about 83% of total oil among them menthofuran (52.6%), β-Caryophllene (11.0%), germacrene D (7.5%) and 1,8-cineole (4.2%) had the highest percentages.
