Abstract

Water-distilled essential oils of Nepeta racemosa collected from two different localities in Turkey were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. The major constituents of the oils were found to be 4aα, 7α, 7aβ-nepetalactone (31.51–91.46%) and 1,8-cineole (2.04–10.44%). © 1993 Allured Publishing Corp.
