dc.description.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 -pinene (12.3%) were identified to be the main constituents of S. trichoclada. 1,8--copaene (18.6%) and germacrene D (17.6%) were determined the major compounds of S. virgata. -copaene (19.4%) and 1,8-cineole (7.8%) were found to be the main constituents of S. ceratophylla. -pinene (7.5%) were detected to be the main constituents of S. multicaulis. The results were discussed in view of chemotaxonomy and natural products. | tr_TR |
