Chemical Composition of Four Salvia L. Species From Turkey: A Chemotaxonomic Approach
Abstract
In this study the chemical composition of four Salvia L. species (S. trichoclada Bentham.,
S. virgata Jacq., S. ceratophylla L., S. multicaulis Vahl.) from Turkey, were analyzed by GC-MS (Gas chromatography-
Mass spectrometry) system. Forty, forty one, forty three and thirty nine compounds were identified
representing 91.9 %, 90.4 %, 89.7 %, 88.4 % of the S. trichoclada, S. virgata, S. ceratophylla and S.
multicaulis oils, respectively. Caryophyllene oxide (25.1 %), spathulenol (15.4 %) and β-pinene (12.3 %)
were identified to be the main constituents of S. trichoclada. 1,8-Cineole (20.3 %), α-copaene (18.6 %) and
germacrene D (17.6 %) were determined the major compounds of S. virgata. Germacrene D (23.6 %), α-
copaene (19.4 %) and 1,8-cineole (7.8 %) were found to be the main constituents of S. ceratophylla.
Caryophyllene oxide (22.5 %), spathulenol (12.7 %) and β-pinene (7.5 %) were detected to be the main
constituents of S. multicaulis. The results were discussed in view of chemotaxonomy and natural products
