Essential oil of aerial parts were </div> <div>obtained through hydro-distillation and determined with GC-MS analyses. Fifteen compounds were determined in </div> <div>the oil (99.3%) of aerial part. The main compounds were heneicosane (19.4 %), hexahydrofarnesly acetone (17.0%) </div> <div>and phytol (17.0%). Saturated n-alkane derivatives (35.2%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (25.6%) and diterpene </div> <div>(17.0%) were dominated in the oil. Also, the antibacterial activity of volatile oil was studied against Escherichia coli </div> <div>and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. But the oil did not show activity against the tested microorganisms at 80-10 mg/ </div> <div>mL concentrations. Here, it is reported for the first time on the volatile oil composition of S. hispanicus. </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Altınbaş Üniversitesi}
