Abstract
Water-distilled essential oils of two subspecies of Calamintha pamphylica namely, subsp. pamphylica and subsp. davisii, both of which are endemic taxa to Turkey, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. In the oil of subsp. pamphylica more than fifty compounds were characterized representing 98.4% of the total components detected. Pulegone (36.16%), menthyl acetate (27.70%) and menthol (8.99%) were identified as major constituents. More than sixty compounds were characterized in the oil of subsp. davisii representing 98.3% of the components detected, with pulegone (38.21%), menthone (9.78%), menthol (9.97%) and menthyl acetate (9–33%) as main constituents. © 1997, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
