Abstract
The constituents of essential oils, obtained from different aerial parts (leaves and flowers) of Salvia ringens Sibth. et Sm. growing wild in Bulgaria, have been analyzed by GC-MS. The yields of leaves and flowers oils were similar (0.03 % v/w and 0.04 % v/w). 60 compounds were identified in both oils, which correspond to 97.7 % and 97.3 % of the total oils constituents for leaves and flower oils, respectively. Both leaves and flowers oils showed similar chemical compositions, with predominance of camphor (17.2 % and 18.8 %) and borneol (7.2 % and 8.7 %). Further analyses of minor component distributions proves that the both leaves and flowers could be equally used as a raw material for obtaining of camphor reach essential oil from Salvia ringens Sibth. et Sm.
