Abstract

Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson from labiatae family has different varities. In present study we selected Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson var. callianta, which cultivated in Research station of Alborz (Karadj). The volatile oil extracted from plant by steam distillation method and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The major constituents obtained from var. callianta in flower oil were piperitone (70.22%), piperitenone (9%), 1,8-cineol (7.8%) and in leaf oil were piperitone (49.7%), 1,8-cineole (18.4%), piperitenone (15.8%).
