Abstract

The essential oil composition of wild Mentha longifolia (Linn.) Huds. (syn. M. sylvestris Linn.) collected from different regions of Kumaon Himalaya has been examined by GC and GC-MS. The analysis revealed carvone as major constituent which varied from 61.12–78.70% in the oil. Among other constituents were dihydrocarveol (0.40–9.45%), cis-carvyl acetate (0.16–6.43%) germacrene D (1.25–5.73%) β-caryophyllene (0.83–2.18%), (E)-β-farnesene (0.45–1.54%). These results are significant and have commercial potential because of very high percentage of carvone. The analysis of materials from different parts of this region showed some variations in the constituents.
