Abstract
The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the stem, leaf and flower Salvia leriifolia Benth. were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Thirty-four compounds representing 92.4 % of the stem oil of Salvia leriifolia were identified among them ß-pinene (19.0 %), germacrene D (11.0 %) and ô-cadinene (10.5 %) were the major ones. The leaf oil of the plant was characterized by higher amount of ß-pinene (31.5 %), 1,8-cineole (24.7 %) and ot-pinene (17.5 %) among the thirty components comprising 98.9 % of the total oil detected. Twenty-seven compounds representing 95.9 % of the flower oil of the plant were identified among them y-terpinene (62.2 %) and p-cymene (11.1 %) were the major ones. The stem oil of the plant consisted mainly both monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, while in leaf and flower oils monoterpenes predominated over sesquiterpenes.
