Abstract
The essential oils of six wild Israeli species of the Labiatae family were studied. The main components in the oils of Majorana syriaca, Coridothymus capitatus, Satureja thymbra, Salvia fruticosa, Salvia dominica and Micromeria fruticosa were identified. Two phenolic chemotypes, one containing thymol, the other one carvacrol, were found in Majorana syriaca and Coridothymus capitatus. The hydrodistilled oils were analyzed by means of GLC and GC-MS. Identification of individual compounds isolated from the oils by fractional distillation and preparative GC was carried out by IR spectroscopy.
