Abstract
The chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Salvia mirzayanii Rech. f. & Esfand. growing endemic in southern Iran were extracted using hydrodistillation method and analysed using GC and GC-MS. Sixty-two and seventy-seven compounds were identified in the essential oils of leaves and flower of S. mirzayanii, respectively. The main chemical constituents of leaves were 5-neo-cedranol (13.46 %), α-cadinol (6.40 %), linalool (6.10 %), α-terpinyl acetate (6.04 %), caryophyllene oxide (5.88 %), linalyl acetate (5.56 %), epi-α-cadinol (5.31 %), bicyclogermacrene (5.13 %) and δ-cadinene (4.90 %) while the major compounds extracted from flower oil were pulegone (7.40 %), δ-cadinene (6.15 %), lanilool (6.11 %), 5-neo-cedranol (5.69 %), linalyl acetate (5.25 %), α-cadinol (5.09 %), neoiso-menthol (4.27 %) and α-terpinyl acetate (3.64 %). This endemic medicine plant has high potential for use in food and perfumery industries with high contents of 5-neo-cedranol, linalool, δ-cadinene, pulegone and sclareol.
