Abstract
The difference in yield and composition of the essential oil of Sature ja obovata ('savory') has been investigated. The research included all of its different phenological stages, in several populations of the p rovinces of Granada and Malaga, during three consecutive years. Quanti tative analysis of the essential oil revealed the existence of two dis tinct groups of samples depending on their major components: (i) oxyge nated monoterpenic derivatives and (ii) aromatic alcohols and their pr ecursors.
