STUDIES REGARDING THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF VOLATILE OILS FROM SOME SPONTANEOUS AND CULTIVATED LAMIACEAE SPECIES
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2010, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
The Lamiaceae plant family comprises numerous species that have medicinal and/or aromatic properties, many of these species having glandular secretory trichoms placed on their aerial vegetative organs and on their reproductive organs too, that produce volatile oils. The objective of this paper is to determine the chemical composition of the volatile oils of Mentha aquatica L., Perovskia atriplicifolia Benth. and Thymus zygioides Griseb. and to correlate the obtained data with those regarding the specific ecological conditions of the originating locations for the investigated species and comparing them with those found in the literature.
