Abstract

The essential oil of Salvia viridis L. (Lamiaceae) was prepared by hydrodistillation of flower, leaf and stem and characterized by GC and GC-MS A total of 53, 66 and 35 compounds were identified, constituting over 96 5, 96.4 and 88 5 % of oil composition of the flower, leaf and stem of S viridis, respectively Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were shown to be the main group of constituents (in flower 52 8%. in leaf. 50.2%, in stem 48 7 %). The major components of the oils of S. viridis were beta-pinene (leaf. 264 %). trans-muurola-4(14),5-diene (flower. 185 go) and germacrene D (stem, 160 %). Flower and leaf parts of the oils were rich in terpenoid constituents in the total ratio of 96 3 % in flower. 94 9 % in leaf and stem oil of S viridis had less terpenoids (72.6 %)
