Abstract :
Due to various usages of Satureja species or their oils, we were interested in
studying essential oil contents and compositions of Satureja species in Iran. So, the
essential oil of aerial parts of Satureja bachtiarica Bunge. growing in Iran was obtained
by hydrodistillation and was analyzed by GC-MS. Twenty eight compounds
constituting 99.80% of the oil were identified and yield of the oil was 2.7% (V/W).
The major components were found to be thymol (65.1%), γ-terpinene (15.0%), β-
caryophyllene (4.85%), p-cymene (4.4%), linalool (3.5%) and borneol (3.05%
