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%), \alpha-copaene (19.8%), \beta-cubebene + \beta-elemene (9.9%), bicyclogermacrene (9.3%), \delta cadinene (8.7%), and \beta-caryophyllene (7.3%).
