Chemical Composition of Satureja boissieri Hausskn. ex Boiss. Species From Adıyaman (Turkey)
Abstract
The genus Satureja L. (Lamiaceae) includes about 200 species of herbs and shrubs, often aromatic, widely distributed in the Mediterranean area, Asia and boreal America (Rustaiyan et al., 2004). Satureja is rep- resented by sixteen taxa in Turkey (Davis, 1982; Tumen, 2000) and the endemism ratio is 33% in Turkey, where Satureja species are grown mainly in south and west Anatolia (Davis, 1982). The essential oil components of aerial parts of Satureja boissieri Hausskn. ex Boiss. was investigated by GC and GC-MS. The yield of plant is ca. 0.20 g L-1. Thirty ve component were identi ed representing 95.4% oil. Carvacrol (30.1%), thymol (21.8%), p-cymene (12.5%) and g-terpinene (6.5%) were found as main constituents. The results were discussed in terms of natural products, renewable resources and chemotaxonomy.
