Abstract :
The composition of the essential oils of Teucrium chamaedrys L. belongs to the family Lamiaceae, It is growing
wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north Iran. In this research, essential oils of
T. chamaedrys, extracted and measured at the different location by different methods of distillation and then
were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Investigation and comparison on essential oil constituents of herbs were
collected from three localities (Chalus, Galoogah and Gadook). The essential oil yield at the different location
from Chalus by water distillation (Clevenger) were (0.06%), and by water & steam distillation (Kyzer & Long)
were (0.28%), and by steam distillation were (0.04%), the essential oil yield at the different location from
Galoogah by water distillation (Clevenger) were (0.06%), and by water & steam distillation (Kyzer & Long)
were (0.05%), and by steam distillation were (0.09%), the essential oil yield at the different location from
Gadook by water distillation (Clevenger) were (0.2%), and by water & steam distillation (Kyzer & Long) were
(0.16%), and by steam distillation were (0.08%), respectively. Major component identificated in sample from
Chalus by water distillation (Clevenger) were α- cadinene (15.4%), Z- β-farnesene (9.6%),1-eicosene (8.2%),
and by water & steam distillation (Kyzer & Long) were 1-eicosene (12.8%), α- cadinene (6.3%), benzyl
salicylate (5.9%), and by steam distillation were cis-3-hexenyl benzoate (10.9%), (E,Z)-farnesol (10.3%), benzyl
salicylate (8.3%). Major component identificated in sample from Galoogah by water distillation (Clevenger)
were E- α-farnesene (22.9%), α- calacorene (20.2%), α- murrolene (8.0%), and by water & steam distillation
(Kyzer & Long) were α- cadinene (30%), E-β- caryophyllene (23.5%), E- α-farnesene (7.2%), and by steam
distillation were E- α-farnesene (18.4%), 1-eicosene (15.2%), benzyl salicylate (10%).Major component
identificated in sample from Gadook by water distillation (Clevenger) were α- murrolene (12%), cis-3-hexenyl
benzoate (11.3%), methyl decanoate (8.9%), and by water & steam distillation (Kyzer & Long) were α-
murrolene (8.7%), n- heptadecane (7.9%), cis-3-hexenyl benzoate (7.2%), and by steam distillation were α-
murrolene (14.4%), cis-3-hexenyl benzoate (11.3%), E- α-farnesene (9.6%), respectively.
