Abstract :
The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Salvia aethiopis was analyzed by employing GC-MS. Thirty-two components (98.0% of the total oil) were identified in the essential oil of S. aethiopis.The main components of this oil were germacrene D (29.0%), Lamiaceae, Salvia aethiopis, essential oil, GC-MS, germacrene D, a-copaeneLamiaceae, Salvia aethiopis, essential oil, GC-MS, germacrene D, α-copaene copaene (19.8%), ß-cubebene + ß-elemene (9.9%),bicyclogermacrene (9.3%), δ cadinene (8.7%), and ß-caryophyllene (7.3%).
