Abstract

The volatile constituents of Ziziphora taurica subsp. cleonioides (Boiss.) P. H. Davis (Lamiaceae) were studied for the first time by analysis of the essential oil. 33 compounds, from the 44 consisting the total of the fraction, are identified by means of capillary GC and GC-MS. The identified components represent about 96% of the oil. Major constituents found are pulegone (62%) and isomenthone (8%). In addition the presence of 13% hydrocarbons, 9% alcohols, 73% ketones, and, finally, 1% phenols, oxides, ethers, and one ester, was demonstrated.
