the Anatolia folk medicine, Salvia L.
(Lamiaceae) species are used by many people in various villages and towns for
the therapeutic value of their essential oils. Salvia dichroantha
Stapf is an endemic plant of the Irano-Turanian phytogeographic region. Plant
materials were collected during the flowering period from Konya Cihanbeyli (900
m) and Konya Taşkent (1800 m). In this study, water-distilled essential oil of Salvia dichroantha was
analyzed. The analysis was performed by using a gas chromatography (GC-FID) and
gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems, simultaneously. Eight
compounds were identified from the oil of Taşkent representing 96.2 % of the total oil and nine compounds were
identified from the oil of Cihanbeyli representing 98.3% of the total oil. The major components were found as
caryophyllene oxide (38.6%), caryophyllenol I (16.7%), caryophyllenol II
(15.6%) and caryophylladienol II (11.1%) for Taşkent; caryophyllene oxide
(65.8%), caryophyllenol II (14.3 %) for the oil of Cihanbeyli.
