Abstract Volatile constituents of the aerial parts of fresh white sage (Salvia apiana Jepson) were isolated by extraction with diethyl ether followed by high vacuum distillation with a solvent assisted favor evaporation (SAFE) apparatus. The isolated volatiles were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. A total of 84 constituents were identifed (constituting 95.1% of the total area), 11 of which were tentatively identifed. The volatiles were characterized by a high content of hydrocarbon and oxygenated monoterpenes. The major constituents identifed were 1,8-cineole (34.5%), camphor (21.7%), Î²-pinene (7.4%), Î±-pinene (6.4%), Î´-3-carene (6.4%), camphene (3.9%), limonene (3.5%), myrcene (3.2%), and terpinolene (1.3%).
