Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oils of Salvia scabiosifolia Lam. from Bulgaria, has been determined by GC and GC-MS. The yield of oil obtained by water distillation was 0.14 %. The basic components, among the identified 60, representing 97.5 % of the total oil, were camphor (19.2 %), borneol (7.8 %) and camphene (7.0 %). The other components (concentrations higher than 3.0 %) were α-caryophyllene (4.2 %), β-pinene (4.0 %), γ-terpinene (3.5 %), p-cymene (3.4 %), eucalyptol (3.3 %), limonene (3.2 %) and α-pinene (3.0 %).
