Abstract Water-distilled essential oils from the aerial parts of Salvia limbata from two areas in eastern Turkey were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Forty-eight and 42 components were characterized representing 95.6â98.1% of the compounds characterized in the oils with Î±-pinene (11.2â24.3%), Î²-pinene (10.0â20.9%) and sabinene (14.6â17.4%) as major constituents.
