Abstract
Water-distilled essential oils of nine samples of Acinos alpinus (L.) Moenc h, collected from the Aegean region of Turkey, were analysed by GC-MS. One- hundred-and-twenty compounds, which amounted to 84.4-92.8% of the total com ponents detected were identified. The main constituents were found as germa crene-D (3.5-39.8%), hexadecanoic acid (3.7-24.3%) and thymol (10.9-15.3%). Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
