Composition of the essential oil from Salvia verticillata L. collected in Eastern Austria
Abstract (eng)
Salvia verticillata (Lamiaceae) is a small herb from the dry grassland in Southern Europe and Western Asia. Inflorescences had about 0.2 % essential oil, leaves 0.1 % and stems less than 0.01%. The essential oils were composed mainly of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. On average, in all three plant parts the following compounds were identified in decreasing order: germacrene D > (E)-beta-caryophyllene > bicyclogermacrene > alpha-humulene > spathulenol > beta-bourbonene. In inflorescences, germacrene D, (E)-beta-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene occurred in nearly equal amounts, while in leaves germacrene D accounted often for more than 50% of the essential oil.
